January 12, 2022 Enriqueta Cusson

Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, contemplate the Colosseum and the Pantheon, and sample a perfect espresso or gelato before spending an afternoon shopping at the Campo de’Fiori or Via Veneto. Enjoy some of the most memorable meals of your life here, too, from fresh pasta to succulent fried artichokes or a tender oxtail stew.

This was a fantastic concert in a beautiful setting. The church of Sant'Agnese in Agone on Piazza Navona in Rome is a wonderful setting for listening to some of the most beautiful Italian opera arias. The Pianist and Soprano were amazing but my favourite was the Tenor Adriano Gentili. His voice is perfection. In fact I can honestly say that when he sang 'Che Gelida Manina' - it was the best 4 minutes 20 seconds of my year so far. Adriano Gentili invests so much emotion into his performance. It is pure poetry. I bought my tickets ages ago and have been so excited all year. If I lived in Rome I would go every week. The perfect way to spend an hour. The concert leaves you feeling happy for a long time after the performance has ended.

I stumbled across the website for Rome Concerts while looking for a musical treat for my parents during our stay in Rome over Christmas, and booked tickets on a bit of a whim. I'm so glad I did – it really was one of the highlights of our trip. What a brilliant idea from these incredibly talented people, and what a unique and wonderful way to spend an evening. A programme of opera tunes and some beautiful piano pieces performed superbly in an intimate venue that really made us feel part of the experience – a feeling consolidated at the end of the show when the singers began performing their encore while handing out Prosecco and cake to the audience. On a practical note, the venue was also easy to find (important as I was trying to get my folk there without telling them where we were going!) – right opposite the Sant'Angelo bridge. They loved the whole experience, as did I. A truly memorable evening.

The Great Opera Arias Concert

The Great Opera Arias Concert is an excellent live concert of Opera arias, the only one to be performed, in the city of Rome, in a theater, inside a building dating back to the seventeenth century, located in the heart of Rome, 100 meters from the Pantheon. The concert is a selection of the most famous Opera arias created by great Italian composers such as Puccini, Verdi, Rossini, Mascagni, classics of "Bel Canto", and Neapolitan songs. The program is performed by an ensemble composed of a soprano, a tenor and a string quartet, all virtuosos of Italian opera music. The theater of Palazzo Santa Chiara has perfect acoustics and is the only place in Rome, where opera arias concerts are performed in an auditorium equipped with comfortable velvet seats and air conditioning, and that offers the chance to enjoy an aperitif at the cocktail bar before the concert.

We found this wonderful venue by accident and bought tickets. As spontaneous choices can often be this turned out to be one of most memorable experiences of our five day stay in Rome. Superb musicianship in a small intimate theatre with its own 13th century chapel close to the awe inspiring Pantheon. What more can I say....remarkable. The staff were wonderful including the delightful Alice.
