  The food and the service at the Trattoria Napoleone were first class, as were the soprano and her accompanying pianist at the church hall afterwards. A really good evening’s entertainment.

  We all enjoyed the evening immensely. The venue is so fitting for watching and listening to such talented artistes; the pianist and the two singers gave wonderful performances. We have been privileged to attend the opera on a few occasions and we are never disappointed. Highly recommend and an unforgettable experience.

  The entire event was sublime. Recommending this to all I know heading to Firenze, and hoping to return ourselves. Thank you to the performers on the program, and the facilitators that made this possible.

  Die Sopranistin 2m vor uns — wie ein Privatkonzert. Der Pianist mit Leidenschaft dabei! Liebevoll hergerichtet, toller Spot für einen anschließenden Drink in den umliegenden Vinotheken.

  This was a stronger and more professional program than anticipated. All performers seemed to enjoy sharing their love of opera and classical piano with the relatively small, but enthusiastic audience. I enjoyed listening to young Elena’s strong and accomplished voice knowing that she will continue to grow and flourish. The pianist was a nice surprise and his Chopin was technically flawless but would have had greater impact in a more classical, non‐ operatic program. Enjoyed their playfulness yet professional air, and the acoustics were excellent. Elena’s clear pitch perfect strong voice powerfully command this former church. Delightful and well worth the ticket price. Thank you —

  We loved every second. Dinner at Vivanda was exceptional with our charming host talking us through the delicious local organic wines and courses. The concert was breathtaking. Everything was so well organised and I will definitely be booking another evening. Thank you.

  The Italian Opera performance at Santa Monaca Church in Florence was the highlight of our trip. The music was beautiful and the intimate setting in a beautiful old building made it even more special. Bravo!

  The venue was small and intimate, holds perhaps 30 people, the performance was excellent. Singing of the highest quality supported by a very good pianist. I would absolutely recommend. My only complaint is the show ended to quickly, I wanted more.

  Die Sängerin hatte eine phantastische Stimme: weich und zugleich in allen Tonlagen kraftvoll. Ich hätte ihr gerne weiter zugehört. — Die Auswahl der Stücke war gut. Da gibt’s für so eine kurze Aufführung natürlich reichlich Potential. Der Pianist war fast genauso exzellent. Er nahm in den Stücken, die er solo spielte, die Geschwindigkeit als Maßstab für Güte. — Nun, wer weiß, wie die Komponisten es gespielt haben…?!? Auf jeden Fall war die Aufführung eine Bereicherung für den Abend. Und der Preis von xx,-€ war trotz Kürze der Aufführung (für Erwachsene) noch okay.

  Es una pena que no se llenara el recinto. Será por falta de divulgación?. Sonido perfecto (acústica genial). Disfrutamos del espectáculo.

  Bonne soirée dans l'ensemble. Concert pour grand public, morceaux connus du répertoire, on passe un bon moment. Les interprètes sont bien , l'ambiance n'est pas guindée, ne pas prévoir de tenues de soirée… l'église est toute simple aussi. Nous n'avions pas pris le dîner. Prévoir d'être bien vêtu s'il fait froid.

  Еда — слишком простая, если не сказать хуже. Стаканы и приборы пластиковые, столы тоже очень простые. Зал очень приятный. Но главное — акустика. Концерт великолепный. Голоса звучали волшебно.
