Overview
A titan of Italian opera, Puccini crafted many masterpieces, including Tosca, La Bohéme, and Madame Butterfly. Rather than spending several evenings seeing them all, enjoy a banquet of the greatest highlights, including the iconic “Nessun dorma”, in a salon-style setting. After the concert, sip a glass of wine alongside the artists, paired with traditional Italian aperitivo snacks.
- Savor Puccini’s greatest arias and duets in the heart of Rome
- Hear works like “Nessun dorma”, “Vissi d’arte”, and “E lucevan le stelle”

Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates the music of Giacomo Puccini!
The soprano, tenor, and pianist were also excellent!

Amazing singers. We love Opera but didn’t want to spend 3 hours plus at the opera house. This was great. The venue is a church and I wish it had been outdoors or a little more able to hear the commentator.

A wonderful evening to enjoy beautiful voices singing opera. We were surprised how many songs we knew not being opera experts. Intimate setting, engaging, and emotionally charged. Highly recommend adding this to your Rome visit!

All the familiar Italian pieces in a small church that made us feel like being at a privately organized music event.
Music was excellent, yet performers were humorous and friendly throughout..
James_A, Sep 2023
initimate, emotional , friendly, fun, left feeling like I could walk on water ! un believable that the place was not packed, a truly wobderful experience !

A memorable night in a lovely setting. The songs were sung really well and full of emotion, and the pianist added to the high quality of the evening. It was surprising how many songs I recognised as I am no opera expert. If want a first class evening out, we can really recommend this concert for you.

Very nice Opera feature for a very small audience. Good quality artists and very engaging encore. Being January 2nd, there were no other music presentations in Rome that we could find and this was an extraordinary detail during our trip.
Being Rome, the church albeit nice and well located is very bland and not beautiful. Given the 900+ churches in the city, I think the quality of the artists and the show could use a more beautiful venue that would turn the show into an even better experience.

We experienced an exceptional performance. Highly recommend for those who like music of any kind. Just perfect.

Lovely venue. The church setting was pretty and intimate and made for great acoustics. The 2 sopranos were gorgeous! They were dressed beautifully, and more importantly, their performance was incredible. Their voices and their facial expressions helped those of us who don’t understand the words of the songs understand the meaning. I was moved to tears a couple of times. I enjoyed the Chopin piece (piano only). And at the end they added a few light-hearted and familiar tunes that were not on the scheduled program. These pieces had us smiling on our way out. I took my 3 teenage daughters. None of us are opera enthusiasts but we all enjoyed this program. I highly recommend this event.

Great experience, it was a pleasure for us to come and hear such a known singers singing all the hitd.
I liked a lot when the singers interacted with us (the visitors).
Fanny_Q, Jun 2022
Such an amazing concert! Alessandro's and Monica's voices were simply mesmerizing. I was moved to tears by their performance and so was my husband. Best discovery in Rome so far!
Lars_W, May 2022
WOW what an experience! These 3 talented and dedicated musicians gave us an experience we will never forget. In a small church the scene was set, but we were not quite sure what to expect. I am personally not a big fan of Opera music, but have learned from others who have tried such an event, that it was something anyone despite their taste in music, should try at least once.
I can highly recommend you to invest time (about 1 hour or so – I lost track of time) and the very fair amount of money, and put this on your agenda as a MUST SEE, when you are in Rome.
We will for sure come again next time we are in Rome.

A beautiful performance in a warm atmosphere. Excellent opera singers ! Excellent pianist ! It was a lovely and memorizing evening during holidays.
Patrice_D, Dec 2019
Excellent récital for an introduction to the Italian opera and romantic arias. A demonstration of how Italian music can both moves you and be popular.
Very good atmosphere for end of year event.

This was one of my first opera concerts and I enjoyed it very much. The performances alone were great, but the icing on the cake was the performers sense of joy and their kindness after the show. After the show they sang happy birthday to my mother the instant it was revealed she had birthday that particular day - in opera style of course!

What a fantastic evening! Both singers were outstanding and the acoustics in the venue were excellent. I highly recommend this activity.
DayTrip05753882950, Oct 2019
Fantastic music program in a small intimate setting. So impressed by the musical talents of Giovanni Velluti, pianist, Elisabetta Braga, soprano, and Alessandro Fantini, tenor. It was wonderful!
Peter_O, Sep 2019
fantastic. Very close to the performers which make the experience even better. Just amazing and the sound is very good in the church
Fran_B, Sep 2019
Absolutely loved this performance as did my friends. Held in a small, easy to find church, the accoustics were wonderful. The pianist, tenor and soprano work so well together and are such professionals, the program of opera hits and romantic piano pieces well chosen, and the intimate venue made the evening so special.
consuelofrancesa, Sep 2019
Loved this trio! Super-talented professionals. Voices of angels and the pianist was supreme! I highly recommend this beautiful sampling of opera classics. It will give you goosebumps and leaving you feeling inspired and uplifted! Bravo! The church is very warm and no fans or ventilation, so prepare and enjoy!
KimAW_J, May 2019
Booked the experience based on earlier reviews and wasn't disappointed at all. Earlier announced program was changed however not to the worse on the contrary a very romantic evening with a great pianist and two well performing sopranos. The delivery was made with insight about the composers, with passion and with humor.
We can only recommend this event for an introduction to Opera in the romantic city of Rome.
Claire_B, May 2019
Absolutely amazing booked as a surprise for my sisters 50th birthday for our last night. What a way to end our visit to Rome. 4 sisters and we all enjoyed it. One was in tears from pure emotion other 3 had goose pimples. The whole performance was outstanding. The acoustics with it being an intimate venue was nothing that i have ever heard before. I have never been to an opera before but this truly took my breath away!! A must if you are in Rome..... .
javier_b, Jan 2023
La emoción que sentí al escuchar por primera vez y en directo una de las sopranos .
Pienso que la recepción de los espectadores debería ser con el proseco y el pandorino antes del comienzo del espectáculo.
No casi finalizando sin poder aplaudir por tener las manos ocupadas .
Aún así , nos encantó.
marline_l, Jul 2022
3 interprètes 2 voix et un pianiste magnifiques
Opéra, c'était une premier pour mon petit fils
Très beau mais trop court

Een prachtig huiskamer-achtig concert in een mooi klein kerkje, heel afwisselend programma met sopraan, tenor en piano. Leuk afgesloten met een borreltje.
JeanMichel_M, Oct 2019
Nous avons passé un très agréable soirée avec des chanteurs hors pairs et un pianiste fabuleux. Les chansons d'opéra et les chansons napolitaines étaient merveilleuses et tellement bien chantées. A conseiller à tout amateur d'opéra.
Pierre L, Apr 2019
Petite salle avec un acoustique merveilleux , les chanteuses et le pianiste sont excellents. Le programme est bien adapté .
Il faudrait refuser l’utilisation de téléphone portable durant le concert , cela est très dérangeant pour les spectateurs et sûrement pour les artistes,
Le verre et les bouchées à la fin donnent une note plus personnelle à la soirée
