Fantastic experience. It was my first time at a live opera event and I loved it. A must-do for solo travellers
Unbelievable. Highlight of our trip so far
This is a great experience - well known operatic arias and duets in an intimate setting - a small theatre (140?? seats) even those with only the slightest acquaintance with opera will find much to enjoy.
The venue was nice and for people who don't know much about opera the music was enjoyable especially in the second half.
Well worth a visit - only €30 - which includes a glass of prosecco at half time. Cute little theatre in Taormina - with different performances.
Although we didn’t know the first 3 songs we still impressed by their singing and piano playing and the rest of the night was great with a couple of encores with good humour
What a fabulous experience! Some of our party were reluctant to give this a try, given they’re not into operas generally, but everyone left with beaming smiles and wanting more. We all appreciated the fantastic voices despite the songs being sung in Italian (and none of us understanding many of the lyrics). The production was very well put together and we were all massively struck by all three performers' talent. This was extremely enjoyable.
Wow, this is such a quality performance. Varied each night, the opera singers and piano playing (who remains consistent each night) was out of this world. 30 Euros per ticket (for aged 6 and up) and relatively simple to book (booth opens at 6.30 and closes at 8.45, as viewers arrive). The show is just over an hour long with an interval. Small snacks and alcohol/water offered during the interval. Thoroughly worth it.
Nothing against the singers but it is supposed to be a top 10 of the best opera works. It is not for opera experts but more to give a taste of opera to tourists who dont know so much about it. All time favorites are advertised and played on a record player as you pass or wait in line...then when you are inside the music is completely different. As i said, nothing against the singers but it was a big disappointment
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback and for appreciating the talent and professionalism of our singers. We are truly sorry that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. Our concert is designed as an introduction to the beauty of Italian opera for an international audience, offering a varied and engaging journey through some of the most beloved masterpieces of the Italian repertoire. Every evening features a different artistic program with different performers, including tenors, baritones, sopranos, mezzo-sopranos and basses, who perform a selection of famous arias, duets and piano pieces inspired by the great Italian operas. The music played before the performance is intended simply to create atmosphere while guests arrive, whereas the live concert itself changes daily according to the artists and the artistic direction of the evening, making each performance unique. We truly value your comments, as they help us continue improving the experience we offer to visitors from all over the world. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future for another evening at Italian Opera Taormina. Kind regards, Italian Opera Taormina
A very affordable ideal evening out. Having a beverage at intermission under the stars was lovely. The performers were great. Even if you are not an opera lover, you would love the evening. The performance was designed to give you a taste of being at the opera. Guaranteed to delight most individual individuals of any age.
