It should definitely be part of everyone's itinerary when visiting Florence. Excellent performances from both opera singers and also the pianist. Wonderful experience in a great venue.

Amaising!

Olga_M, Nov 2025

I had chills, literally. Those voices were so unbelievable, we didn't expect to get that level of performance on such humble price in small venue.

Small opera but amazing

An evening highlights from Italian Opera

RAY_L, Oct 2025

A trio of talented musicians traded off performing several arias from some well-known operas. Event started right on time and finished around the published finish. The setting was beautiful and quaint, though the crowd is somewhat informal (in not a bad way). Very much great value for €€€.

Do not miss this opportunity

JulieAnne_E, Oct 2025

Wonderful production. True Italian experience. Excellent location. Skilled artists/performers. Very memorable experience. This made my vacation complete! I would have loved this by low lighting. The soprano was amazing as was the pianist. I cherish this memory.

Arias in Florence

Susan_O, Oct 2025

Beautiful atmosphere! Very talented soprano and pianist. Perfect after dinner outing. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful Music

Joseph_W, Oct 2025

The facade of the church blends in with the other buildings and is easy to miss. The singer and pianist were fantastic. I wish the program had two singers, and that it included at least something from La Traviata. Some program notes would be helpful for people who do not understand what the vocalist is singing about. Or a bit of verbal explanation by the singer or someone. It would make it a warmer experience. But overall, a very enjoyable performance by two extremely talented artists.

Beautiful Music in Vintage Venue

Cheryl_C, Oct 2025

The venue is very intimate in an old church, that has some amazing frescos! All the performers were top notch professionals. Really enjoyed it!

Entertaining night of Opera

So very Italian ❤️

Shelley_S, Oct 2025

This was such a nice experience. I enjoyed the performances so much. The church itself is beautiful!! This is a must do in Florence!!!! I would definitely do it again!

Exceptional performances in a perfect location

Emmy_P, Sep 2025

I expected maybe one or two singers with a piano. Instead, this was a small orchestra with a conductor. The two singers were magnificent. Do not miss this beautiful evening of opera done absolutely right!
