Traveler reviews
ＡＫＩＫＯ ＳＡＫＡＩ
★★★★★5 months agoThis is an unforgettable and romantic opera experience that I highly recommend at least once in a lifetime when visiting the magical city of Venice！ Set inside a historic Venetian palace, the performance unfolds in a truly unique way—each time the act changes, the audience moves to a different salon. Watching the characters’ emotions and lives unfold at such close range was an incredibly luxurious and intimate experience！ The opera, performed in the dim glow of candlelight, feels wonderfully dreamlike, as if you are living in the same space as the protagonists. It is a truly extraordinary production that cannot be experienced anywhere else！ The beautiful soprano Natalia Roman, who performs on world stages, delivered a captivating La Traviata. The other singers were also outstanding, and the high-quality performances by the violinist, cellist, and pianist blended seamlessly with the singers’ breathing, creating a unified musical experience that further enhanced the beauty of La Traviata！ The prosecco served during the intermission was also a lovely touch. Slightly tipsy, I found myself completely absorbed in the magnificent voices and emotionally moving performances from beginning to end！ It will undoubtedly become a magical and romantic evening you will never forget in Venice！ I especially recommend it for couples looking to spend a sweet and memorable time together, but whether you visit alone, with friends, or with family, you will feel an elegant and aristocratic sense of occasion. As this opera is very popular, I strongly recommend making a reservation in advance and bringing cash for payment on the day of the performance.

★★★★★7 years agoNice experience to go to an opera in an old merchants house. The history behind the house/mansion is really impressive. The Opera was our first and we enjoyed it, even though we don't understand Italian. The only down side was the they really packed you in, the seats were to close together and if you were at the neck you couldn't really see
