Opera da Camera di Roma performs famous Italian arias in a warm small church by Piazza Venezia. 50 minutes of close-up singing.
“I enjoyed this show, it is clear that Reborto has a passion for music. Him, Fransica and Abero make an amazing trio. A lot of care had been put in to make sure the performance and experience was as captivating as possible. I was thrown off initially by the location choice until the performance began and you realised the acoustics were incredible. You could feel the passion and dedication to excellence in every word. If you have an interest in Opera, I recommend this. There is no entry requirement to enjoy this show, So I personally this is the best introduction to the genre you can have.”
