Absolutely excellent. Very well done- beautifully performed and acted with a few surprises. Give it a go.
Nice experience. Friendly and laid-back atmosphere. Great singers!
Thoroughly enjoyed the performance and the atmosphere of the recently refurbished theatre! My husband, who has never experienced opera, also really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend.
What a wonderful evening! The performers were outstanding, and I especially appreciated how each opera piece was presented with an explanation of it's title, and story, especially since I'm an opera newbie. It made the music even more meaningful and enjoyable! My parents attended operas around the world, and especially in Italy! This evening brought back such lovely memories of them for me! In an incredibly special coincidence, the pianist played his version of "Misty" — which happens to be my parents’ wedding song! It was not listed on ŧthe program, so it was such a touching and unexpected moment which made the evening even more memorable for me! Beautiful music, talented performers, and a truly personal experience, especially in this stunningly restored old world theater. I highly recommend this performance to anyone visiting Florence, whether you're a longtime opera lover or experiencing opera for the first time. Bravo!
This was a wonderfully enjoyable introduction to opera and was the perfect length of time. Both the singers and the pianist were exceptional, and the Teatro Nazionale is both beautiful and comfortable.
Fabulous, fabulous opera. We had the absolute best time. It's one of our favorite and most memorable things we did on our Italy trip and I can't recommend this experience enough. The performers were unbelievably skilled and the theater is beautiful. Bravo!!
Two talented vocalists accompanied by a grand piano virtuoso, sing the “greatest hits” of opera. The music I hoped to hear was in the show. A very intimate experience with a free glass of wine & light snacks offered in their very nice theater lounge before the show.
A wonderful evening in a beautiful refurbished cosy intimate theatre, with exceptional musicians . A pianist who is rightfully called Maestro, a soprano and tenor with incredible and powerful voices, who perform a greatest hits of opera. This was an introduction for us into the world of opera , it was the last night of our Tuscan trip and what a show to end our trip on. It was truly a wonderful night not to be missed and we are now aiming to see more opera. Thank you all for a great night, we fully recommend this exceptional experience for a taste of Tuscany.
An intimate evening at the opera with some incredibly talented musicians. The venue is beautiful. This was a highlight of our visit in Florence.
A wonderful evening in Florence! Everything was so well organised from start to finish, with a lovely welcome drink on arrival. The building itself was absolutely beautiful and created the perfect setting for the evening. The performance was incredible, with amazingly talented singers and musicians. Such a special and memorable experience — would definitely recommend!
Tremendous musicians. Such powerful voices and breath control. Pianist was exceptional as well. Familiar tunes. We have never been to an opera, this was a great introduction. Theater is beautiful, very comfortable seats, all seats are great for the experience. Prosecco and bubbles before were a lovely way to start the evening.
This is the most intimate, most beautiful experience, whether you are an opera aficionado or a newcomer. I cried. I would go back again tonight if it were on. Sadly it's not. Do NOT miss this gift from Firenze to you. Mel from London. ☺️
Great experience. The performers were amazing! Highly recommend
Wonderful experience if you are new to opera. Incredible voices and pianist and good mix of pieces chosen. Helpful that maestro explained each piece. Beautiful and comfortable refurbished theatre
This was a wonderful concert made all the better by not only the performers but also by the atmosphere they create. Places like Theatro Nationale should be well supported as they are the heart of culture. An excellent performance and thoroughly worth the admission. Bravo 🤠
Great selection of finger foods and a free drink available prior to the start of the concert and also a pianist in the bar area to entertain you while eating. The theatre has been lovingly refurbished to a high standard, from rather luxurious and comfortable seats to ambient decor. I had a great view of the stage and with a varied selection of music and fabulously talented opera singers and pianist, what is there to not like and a great evening is guaranteed. Thank you. .
Excellent experience. Thanks
The show was amazing, many famous, beautiful pieces of music and opera. I would recommend this evening out. Very talented performers
Fascinating experience! Beautiful building in the centre, extremely nice hosts speaking in all languages, delicious welcome drink with snacks, perfect air conditioning, comfortable seats, exciting programme with the most beautiful arias of Italian opera, marvellous voices - IT WAS THE PERFECT NIGHT IN FLORENCE! And you should know that a few hours before the programme the soprano singer unfortunately suffered a car accident but the producers did NOT cancel the event (which would have happened at any other venue), they instead rearranged the entire programme, found new singers and thus did not let down the audience! Great professionalism and dedication! I am very grateful for this experience.
This is just amazing. Feeling the true heart of Florence right here at Teatro Nazionale. Thank you Ciao Florence. ❤️
It was so much fun the opera singers where amazing and it was funny as well as emotional its a must see
This show was incredible and so fun. It was such a taste of Italian culture and so worth the price! It was organized, prepared well, and the artists and staff were so kind and friendly. I can’t wait to come back and visit again :)
Attending Voci di Italia was the perfect way to spend our last evening in Florence. The performance took place in a beautifully renovated, intimate theatre, which created a warm and elegant atmosphere. The three artists were absolutely outstanding. Their voices were powerful, emotional, and technically flawless. Every aria was performed with passion, making the audience feel completely immersed in the music. The small, intimate setting made the experience even more special, allowing everyone to appreciate the incredible talent of the performers up close. It was a magical evening and a wonderful farewell to Florence. I highly recommend Voci di Italia to anyone who loves opera or simply wants to experience the beauty of Italian music in an unforgettable setting.
What a delightful evening! Our family greatly enjoyed this opera sampler, which featured pieces from various composers. The two soloists and the pianist were extremely talented, and their performances plus the descriptions of each piece of music made for a very engaging show. For example, we loved hearing that one song was about a woman threatening to throw herself into the Arno River from the Ponte Vecchio that we had crossed mere hours before. The newly renovated Teatro Nazionale is simply gorgeous, and the warm and welcoming staff were so proud to invite in the audience. This was a real treat for our holiday!
He visto muchas actividades de opera y esta ha sido la más excitante pues los cantantes interpretan las canciones a solo unos pasos del público
Excellent at all levels. I obviously recommend it.
Excellent, something I never imagined, the music of the arias explained by the conductor made all the difference! The theater building has already been more than one show, shining with the musicians!
Newly opened with a well-executed opera show, the drink detail is appreciated. Singers with very good voices and the show guide was entertaining.
Beautiful performance, the singers were exceptional. I highly recommend this experience.
Thanks to Florence for a beautiful experience
It was an incredible experience! The singers were exceptional and we spent a superb evening worthy of an Italian opera!
A fantastic evening, unique soprano and baritone, a special thanks to Osaid El Debuch, an extremely professional and kind person. A unique place where art and beauty come together like magic and you forget everything else... Roula & Gianluca
Beautiful theater, just restored, perfect acoustics. An experience not to be missed, both for tourists and for Florentines.
Today, for the first time, I understood what this "recitar cantando" that I had studied so much in school meant: the power, energy, and passion of the artists swept me away like a tornado. Even without knowing Italian or understanding the lyrics, I clearly felt the message of each song. A very beautiful experience!
