Great night out with the boys!

Dave_R, Apr 2026

This was money very well spent! A last minute instinct purchase to give my two sons (8 and 11) a taste of culture and it did not disappoint! The performers were fantastic and really brought the opera to life, interacting with the small audience in a small, warm and intimate historical setting! Highly recommend!

A definite hit!

M_S, Apr 2025

It was a wonderful evening with three performers who really filled the room with their beautiful music. The room was very atmospheric and it was something a little different and special to do. We thoroughly enjoyed our concert.

Not recommendable

Heiko_W, Feb 2024

The concert room too small (40m2), the opera singers too loud and it was too cold and not well heated. The piano was not well harmonized. All in all not enjoyable in our view. We were glad when it was over after 45 min.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Dear Guest, we are deeply sorry for your personal comment, please consider that opera singers concert, rich of a wide range of iconic works such as Rossini's "Il Barbiere di Siviglia," etc. is appreciated by the clients. At your disposal for further information. Regards.

Donal M, Mar 2017

The expertise of the musicians was exceptional and the acoustics of the Palazzo Prigione were superb. The only drawback was that the concert was so short. I could have listened to another hour of superb music.

Enchanting, enveloping

Patrizia_B, Dec 2025

Beautiful environment, incredible voices, but above all the pianist was outstanding. It's really worth it.
