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.

Opera da Camera di Roma is an ensemble consisting of exceptional voices of Italian opera soloists accompanied by outstanding instrumental virtuosos. Our artists present a wonderful show, which is why they receive very often a standing ovation and positive audience feedback.
