This was our 2nd Opera, and may I say was just as impressive we loved every minute and it was at a perfect time as we had a lovely meal after, only one problem getting to the place by 6pm — the traffic was mad!

The performance was outstanding. Both singers and the pianist were brilliant!! I especially loved Adriano Gentili, the tenor, who has the most amazingly beautiful voice. I saw this performance last year and came back to Italy especially to see it again. I have been so excited all year about coming to this concert. It was wonderful. So much talent. I do hope I can come again one day. I had the best evening ever. The best hour of my year so far!!

Outstanding performance in an outstanding venue. In the past this church was hardly ever open. I am glad they are making use of the sacristy. Also having the performance at a more reasonable hour allows for a late dinner on this square or another square close by.

Direi ottima performance, se non fosse del quintetto di archi annunciato ed invece avevamo solo tre archi e piano. Primo tempo prima stagione un pó freddini ma poi risolto egregiamente con il bis finale. Non rilascio il 5 pieno solo per la viola mancante. Buona giornata.

Ottimo evento, non metto 5 stelle solo perchè le 5 stelle si danno alle superstar della musica classica. Però il quintetto è molto preparato, originale e riuscita l'idea di arrangiare le 4 stagioni per archi e piano, e eccellente, questa da 5 stelle, la scelta di una piccola cappelletta nella Chiesa, perchè crea un'atmosfera raccolta e soprattutto permette di gustare bene i suoni delle bellissime musiche di Vivaldi, ottimamente suonate dal quintetto

Marvellous! We have many happy memories of this evening. What a treat to be able to enjoy the church as a small group and hear about it's architecture and listen to some fabulous music beautifully played and sung. If we had been in Rome on other concert days we would have attended them. If we reurn to Rome we shall certainly look for another concert by this group.

Truly a wonderful experience to learn about Baroque music and a magnificent church. Only suggest an adjustment to the microphone worn by the interpretor as there was a bit of an echo. May be better without the mic since the accoustics are perfect.
