It was ok but not amazing

Rossella_F, Nov 2023

It was hard to see the performers as there is no stage and we were all sitting on church pews. That said, the performance was good. Perhaps it might start a little earlier than 8.30 pm as we left before it finished due to being quite tired after a day sightseeing

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for your review, we always appreciate suggestions. About the visibility, the show is in a Church and not in a theatre so it's normal that not everyone see very well, for this reason there are 3 different categories of price.

Great Experience

Ashley_A, Nov 2023

The orchestra was fantastic. If you've never been to an opera, I would say this is a good start. It is performed in a church in the setting in the first four rows were church pews. We purchased the skip the line ticket, and when we arrived, they assured us past everyone standing in line to our seats.

It was spectacular amazing the church the costumes the cast I can't fault it at all I highly recommend this experience to everyone it's a must seeing when going to Rome 🙂

Read the synopsis (for non-Italian listeners)

Jowi_G, Aug 2023

Great acoustics in the church but the place was extremely hot. The stage is low and the seats are the same level so if you’re not tall it’s quite difficult to see everything. I read the synopsis prior to watching the opera and despite the fact that I didn’t understand a single word, I was still in the loop of what was going on. 😅

Amaaaaaaaazing

Andreia_N, Jul 2023

The singers, the orchestra, the place… Loved every little detail ☺️ But I really need to praise the opera singers: WOW!!! They are extremely good!! Although I didn’t understand a word, I got emotional. What a journey!! What an amazing experience!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Oh thank you!!! Your review is the answer for all the work of our artists. We're really happy for your words!

St Paul Within the Walls experience

Sharon_A, May 2023

A lovely setting set in the heart of Rome that is perfect for opera. St Paul is a beautiful place and has the right acoustics for La Traviata. We were enthralled and entertained by both the singers and the musicians accompanying them. What an evening!

Great night in Roma.

Jorge_S, Apr 2023

Great night. Amazing performances. Bare in mind this is not an anfitheatre. It is in a church. Enjoy not only the piece, but also the surroundings. You are not in your village. You are in Rome.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you very much for your kind review! It's true, Rome is magic...

Beautiful location but that's it

Danny_B, Feb 2023

Beautiful location! Really beautiful church. Unfortunately, the acoustics were not great and it was incredibly difficult to see the performance due to the set up. We left after 45 minutes.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

We are sorry you have decided to live the church during he show. In fact, however, being the show in a church, a magnificent church as you also said, obviously the floor is not sloping as you are used to in the theater, for this reason the tickets further down have a low price because visibility is lower. Thanks for your review.

Famous opera in a tiny church

topgun0923, Feb 2023

Excellent opera show in a wonderful place! An unexpected excellent opera show with a decent price. If you have time and interests then go for it.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thank you for your review!!! We hope to see you again any time soon!

It was better than I had...

Koral_W, Feb 2023

It was better than I had anticipated. The vocals were impeccable. The orchestra was perfection. I would go again in a heartbeat.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We are very happy you have appreciated so much our orchestra and singers. Thank you!!!

Fantastic

aziz_s, Nov 2022

Acoustics were perfect for opera. The overture, the brindisi and Sempre Libera were all beautifully done. It's a shame we were only able to stay for the first act. Bravo Virtuosi!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thank you so much for your review!! We hope to see you again so you can stay until the end of the Opera.

Exquisite Experience

Macit_T, Nov 2022

The ambiance & performance was perfect match. Genuine performance connects with audience. Full of drama & joy.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you for your fantastic review! Our main goal is that the audience listening to our shows will have fun and emotions.

First experience of an opera

Fergus_R, May 2022

Lovely venue and amazing singing. However we paid extra to sit on the front rows and we didn’t consider row 9 as being particularly near the front. Lots of people in front of us with their phones in the air recording the show, and we couldn’t really see properly. It was a shame because it would have been a lovely experience if we’d seen the opera rather than having just heard it.

Response from Host, May 2022

Thank you for appreciate our venue and the singing. We are sorry about the phones of the other costumers, it has become really hard to stop this kind of incovenience. We do our best but sometimes it's difficult to have succeed in it. We will try to improve more and more in blocking this type of behavior. Thank you.

Terrible sound

Synnove_S, Apr 2022

This show was a huge disappointment. The sound/accustic was terrible. We left the show after 1 hour.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

We are very sorry the show was a such disappointment to you. We perform shows from over 20 years and it can happened that not everyone in the audience is completely satisfied. But the show was in a Church built in 1873, as we inform in our advertising materials, so the sound it cannot be perfect like in a theatre built esclusively to listen concert or opera. We hope next time you will come to Rome you will have the possibility to see one of our show in a theatre, as it happened before the covid pandemic. Thank you.

A good experience

Mark_P, Apr 2022

Seating was a little difficult to see. But a good show. Performance was great. A real theater would have been better.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you for your review! Actually we have performed for many years in a wonderful theatre but unfrotunately is closed due the covid pandemic. We hope in the future you will come back to attend one of our show in a theatre!

Wonderful experience

Marie_J, Mar 2022

Excellent location. Very close to Roma Termini. It was also a wonderful experience! Highly recommended and worth the price!

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Thank you very much for your review!! We are very happy you have appreciated our show! We hope to see you again,thank you.

Excellent First Opera!

Claire_S, Feb 2022

We’ve never seen opera before but love theatre. They were all incredible, and the music was incredible, and it was a beautiful venue, and we were so invested with what was going on. 10/10 would recommend.

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Grazieee!!!!! We are so happy you enjoyed our performance. Thank you very much for your review!

An incredible experience!

Sally_F, Nov 2021

Such a beautiful place to see such a moving piece of work. The performances were outstanding and were enhanced by sitting in such an incredible building. We booked front row seats and were essentially sitting on a bench on the 'stage'.

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Thank you very much for your fantastic review!!! We are so glad you have appreciated our performance and the beautiful and prestigious Church in which we perform our concert.

Wonderul!

Tatiana_D, Oct 2021

What a wonderful experience! We all very much enjoyed it! Even our 7 year old daughter sat throuh the whole thing and loved it! She said it was one of her favorite experiences in Rome. If you're planning on going do not waste your money on cheaper seats! you will not be able to see anything! It is a church, so you sit on church benches and if you're all the way in the back it's wasted money. Get there early so you can get as close to the front as possible, since it's an open seating policy even if you get tickets to the A section.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thank you very much for your review!!! It's always a pleasure for us that also the kids can enjoy our show, we do all our best!

Overall great and the church was...

Anuket B, Feb 2018

Overall great and the church was very nice, the acoustics were good and the performers were fantastic. The only thing I wish was that I had picked a front seat. It was at a church and not really an Opera hall, so my view was obstructed and we had a hard time seeing the stage, but that did not take away for the great sound experience. This deal is a great value, I would definitely recommend it.
