Watch opera in Palazzo Poli with prime Trevi Fountain views. A 1-hour Rome concert with comfortable seating, art, and easy logistics.
“One highlight of our trip! Loved the musical presentation. Good singers and musicians. Well known instrumental and opera songs. The show was 1 hour with a few extra minutes for an Encore. An added bonus is the location of this concert at Palazzo Poli: the backdrop of the Trevi Fountain is the Palazzo Poli. You can actually see the back of the Trevi fountain from the concert hall windows.”

“Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! Oh my goodness goosebumps from the moment you step inside. How often does one hear they hear Opera in the Trevi Fountain!? The musicians were phenomenal with the energy they brought when they played being the music to life and the Opera singers WOW powerhouse voices! Brought a tear to my eye hearing “ O mio babbino caro”. Truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.”

Rome opera concert near Quirinale: Puccini and classics in 75 minutes with aperitif, snacks, and close-up singers in a small church.
“Please consider booking this tour & to support the amazing artists, it was clear that they absolutely LOVE what they do, and they are performing with their heart. To be honest, I don't think that the show needed any drinks & snacks to attract visitors. It was a distraction from the perfect performance. But other than that, it was a great experience!!! If you decided to book the show, please stay for the whole show and DO NOT leave early. We need to show some more respect for the artists. -Tong”

Opera concert in Rome at Waldensian Church with dinner at Enoteca Corsi. English mobile ticket, Italian arias, Neapolitan songs near Pantheon.
“The opera was good, out of all the songs sang I kew about 3 or so. A 15 min. break in the middle where they served orange juise. The walk to the rest. without GPS would have been HARD to find, a good 10 min. walk. The dinner was EXCELLENT, the BEST meal we had the whole 3-days in Rome. Highly recommended. "The TV Man"”
