Highly Recommend
Perfect summer evening listening to favorite opera songs performed by incredibly talented singers to a full house. Venue was intimate allowing for excellent viewing and good acoustics. Beverages were provided. Enjoyable for the whole family. Great way to make a few hours transform into a special, memorable night in Siena. Well worth the money.

Exceptional Night at the Opera - Siena
While we were in Siena, we had the wonderful experience of attending the Italian Opera. The two singers were excellent, as well as the pianist. They performed a total of 12 pieces, including ones from Cosi fan tutte, Don Giovanni, Nabucco, Il barbiere dis Siviglia, Norma, La Boheme, Macbeth and more. The Soprano, Veronica Senserini's range was outstanding and beautiful and the Baritone, Andrea Borghini's voice was strong. Ms. Senserini engaged the audience with one piece and it was well received and humorous. I enjoyed watching the pianist Gianni Cigna perform some difficult scores. All six of us that attended would highly recommend the Italian Opera in Siena.
Please note that the opera is performed in a converted church. Despite their numerous fans to help move air and cool down the facility it was still very hot inside. If you attend on a warm/hot evening, I would recommend taking a hand fan or "quiet" neck/collar fan.

I expected more...
It is a very small place; I expected much more from the event.

Estimado/a huésped:
Gracias por compartir su opinión. Lamentamos saber que las dimensiones de nuestro Auditorio no hayan cumplido con sus expectativas. Nuestra experiencia se desarrolla en el Auditorio Santo Stefano alla Lizza, una antigua iglesia situada en el centro histórico de Siena, y nace precisamente con la idea de ofrecer una experiencia operística íntima e inmersiva, que permita al público disfrutar de los artistas desde muy cerca, en un ambiente sugestivo y acogedor.
Esperamos, no obstante, que haya apreciado la calidad de las interpretaciones y le agradecemos haber elegido pasar una velada con nosotros.

Know little about opera… try this!
For someone not familiar with opera AT ALL(!) This was a beautifully performed introduction to a few of the arias. The venue was intimate and the acoustics sublime.
Everyone in our party enjoyed the performance.

To be redone
A first in the world of opera. Both singers took the roles of the performing characters very seriously. The pianist was very pleasant to watch playing.
