A truly unique experience - The venue was amazing, though a bit hard to find. The performers were skilled and really pulled us into the performance. In fact, one of the characters handed my daughter and I a glass of Prosecco as part of the scene. I would definitely recommend this a unique experience and I am glad that we attended.

An Outstanding Night at the Opera - What a breathtaking performance! It was uniquely staged. Each act was performed in 3 separeate rooms. The performance was a marvel it itself. Very high quality with virtuoso singers!

Singing the praises of this opera experience! - This experience was sublime—mysterious, magical, and beautifully musical. Tucked away in an elegant building complete with spectacular frescos on the ceiling, the show truly makes you feel as though you are a member of the nobility in bygone times. We saw an abbreviated version of La Traviata, and the three main characters had spectacular voices. The fact that they were singing just feet away from us gave the performance an impact I have never before experienced watching operas. I very highly recommend you make this activity part of your Venice visit.

8 years later and still amazing! - Brilliant performance all round. We came to this opera 8 years ago and we absolutely loved it. It was the highlight of our stay in Venice. So we’ve come back again this year for our honeymoon and we HAD to go again. And once again it did not disappoint. The musicians were amazing and the performers were engaging throughout. I loved the moments of audience interaction and absolutely love the promenade staging. To this day I haven’t experienced anything else like it and should we return to Venice I know where I’ll be on a Wednesday night.

Unique and fascinating - A must do. The singers and musicians were fabulous. The proximity to the artists makes this moment unique and the fact of moving from one room to another is fascinating! We do not see the time passing ! The explanations for finding pleasure are perfect.

What a unique experience - We loved the close up experience - I estimate around 60 - 70 people max. The performers were AMAZING and the venue was stunning. To be able to watch an a show of this quality in an historic building is not to be missed.

Great experience. Need to improve ventilation. - Everything was great except for the fact that the rooms were really hot and lacking in air circulation. We had to leave early because my travel companion was felling like she would pass out from lack of air. Venice is tiring due to all the walking during the day and after a nice dinner, it's hard to sit in a hot room that does not have enough fresh air.
I would still call it a great experience but the air quality in the rooms need some improvement.
