About the Event

The Valentine's Day Concert 'Opera and Ballet' offers couples the opportunity to celebrate their love with a romantic concert of opera and dance in the marvelous Auditorium Santo Stefano al Ponte Vecchio in Florence.

The most suggestive Opera arias by Verdi, Puccini, Tchaikovsky and other renowned romantic composers, performed by masterful soprano and tenor voices, are enriched by charming choreographies featuring classical dancers. The melodies of a Chamber Ensemble, consisting of strings and piano, will delight the public with the magic of Opera and Ballet in the most romantic day of the year.

The unique Tuscan Gourmet Menu served before the concert (18:00) creates a very special Valentine's Day experience.
