About the Event

Infuse your stay in Florence with a touch of Italian lyricism by experiencing The Three Tenors' enchanting performance. This captivating showcase includes opera arias, traditional Neapolitan songs, and ballet dancers in the heart of Tuscany's stunning capital.

Located near Piazza Santa Croce in Florence, the oratory of Santa Maria Vergine della Croce al Tempio hosts this memorable event. Accompanied by a chamber ensemble of mandolin, double bass, and piano, the soloists present renowned arias from operas like 'La Traviata,' 'Rigoletto,' and 'Tosca,' alongside beloved Neapolitan classics including 'O sole mio,' 'Funiculì Funiculà,' and 'Torna a Surriento.'

The historical significance of the Oratory of Santa Maria Vergine della Croce al Tempio in Florence can be traced back to the Middle Ages. Originally a Templar hospital, it later became the headquarters of the Company of Santa Maria della Croce al Tempio, a distinguished Florentine brotherhood boasting members such as Lorenzo the Magnificent, Michelangelo Buonarroti the Younger, and Luca della Robbia.

The oratory's architectural charm reflects its era, featuring a simple facade adorned with irregular stones and a carved wooden door bearing coats of arms. Inside, a single nave room with a terracotta floor and trussed roof exudes timeless elegance. The walls showcase plaques and frescoes, including a memorable ogive arch piece dating back to 1928, symbolizing the rich history and artistic legacy of the brotherhood.

Embrace the allure of Italian music and history in this picturesque setting, where past and present blend harmoniously to create an unforgettable cultural experience in the heart of Florence.
