This 1 hour concert in a small venue just off St. Mark’s Square featured a soprano and baritone. While the concert ended with 2 well-known Neapolitan songs, our group of regular opera goers wasn’t familiar with some of the arias. The singers were good but not great. The piano accompanist was excellent, and we considered her playing with and separate from the singers to be the highlight of the concert. Very discerning concert goers might be disappointed, but keep in mind the low ticket price.

The cultural highlight of our 20th anniversary trip. The performers are professional, the setting is elegant and classy. Wife was in 7th heaven. Need I say more?😊
Horrible! It was an scam I bought the tickets I got a QR code They send me to a place that did not work No one was answering It was very disappointing
Great experience for the family which included a 10 and 14 year old! Pianist and both opera singers were wonderful.
enjoyable evening of music with 2 very talented opera singers. worth the money. wonderful setting. great performers
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!
I was looking for an introduction to Opera for my 11 year old twins and my mom. This was amazing. It is in the Doge Palace at night in a small room with great acoustics. The Performers and pianist could not have been better. They interacted with the audience and even took my son for a dance. They sang some of the greatest songs of Opera. It was a perfect introduction to the Opera. Could not have asked for a better night. This truly felt like such a unique experience and made for a most memorable night.
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.
We like music. And it was a great celebration for every music lovers. Especially in Venice there is So many places for great music
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.
The dedication to their craft showed thru their performance. You can see the love of their craft thru the music
Performers at top level. Opening aria withe barber of Seville. Excellent piano player. Room did not have air condition.
Amazing music in a unique space! Rich, resonant sound; skilled and expressive singers and pianist. First time for us to hear operatic arias in a prison.
Excellent musicians at this FREE concert. Event last aporox 80mins. East to find and historic venue.
There was no concert at the venue when we arrived and we were not informed. Of my changes or cancellations. Very poor experience and we need to receive a refund on this no show.
Excellent value for money and exceptional pianist and opera singers. Really enjoyed the evening and thoroughly recommend.
The concert was amazing and very small venue. Throughly enjoyed by myself and my wife. would recommend but book prior to going.
Fantastic night's entertainment. Wonderful acoustics in an historic setting. Great for fans of opera and first time concert goers.
Very well performed. Vivaldi as I imagined it would be in an unforgettable setting. Small group get there 15 min early you can grab a front row seat.
<p>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.</p>
Beautiful environment, incredible voices, but above all the pianist was outstanding. It's really worth it.
Orchestre au top pas de soucis la dessus sauf que je pensais avoir réservé pour un concert classique avec violon, piano... Et que la c était un pianiste et 2 chanteurs d opéra donc j ai été déçu même si c était une belle experience
Très belle expérience. Nous y allions sans attentes. Et nous avons passé un merveilleux moment. Lieu intime et belle acoustique. Jeunes et moins jeunes musiciens très pro et talentueux. Allez-y!
I traveled to Italy with a friend and during our stay in Venice we had the opportunity to see this concert with two very powerful singers and a very good pianist, who also presents. The building is an old Venetian prison and is a very suggestive place. The concert is not long and was one of the highlights of our trip to Venice.
Very pleasant event! Suggestive place and especially the piano with its fascinating history, played by a very good pianist! Excellent singers and the program presented! Highly recommended!
Pleasant experience listening to quality classical music in a place used in the past to do anything else... the opera concert was free, but adequately presented by the nice pianist, among other things very good! The two very good and nice opera singers, really “warmed up” the audience... very nice!!!
the orchestra does the job without any empathy or interaction with the audience. No presentation of musicians or pieces played.
