Highly Recommend
Perfect summer evening listening to favorite opera songs performed by incredibly talented singers to a full house. Venue was intimate allowing for excellent viewing and good acoustics. Beverages were provided. Enjoyable for the whole family. Great way to make a few hours transform into a special, memorable night in Siena. Well worth the money.
Response from the operator: What a joy to read this! Knowing that a summer evening in Siena turned into a special family memory is exactly what we hope for with every performance. Thank you for sharing the atmosphere, the music, and the experience so beautifully — we hope this won’t be your last evening of opera with us!

Exceptional Night at the Opera - Siena
While we were in Siena, we had the wonderful experience of attending the Italian Opera. The two singers were excellent, as well as the pianist. They performed a total of 12 pieces, including ones from Cosi fan tutte, Don Giovanni, Nabucco, Il barbiere dis Siviglia, Norma, La Boheme, Macbeth and more. The Soprano, Veronica Senserini's range was outstanding and beautiful and the Baritone, Andrea Borghini's voice was strong. Ms. Senserini engaged the audience with one piece and it was well received and humorous. I enjoyed watching the pianist Gianni Cigna perform some difficult scores. All six of us that attended would highly recommend the Italian Opera in Siena. Please note that the opera is performed in a converted church. Despite their numerous fans to help move air and cool down the facility it was still very hot inside. If you attend on a warm/hot evening, I would recommend taking a hand fan or "quiet" neck/collar fan.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for recommending Italian Opera in Siena! We are delighted that you and your group enjoyed the quality of the performances, the variety of the program, and the atmosphere of the evening. We also appreciate your comment regarding the temperature. We are already working on improvements to our air-conditioning system to further enhance the comfort of our audience. It was a real pleasure to welcome you, and we hope to see you again in Siena for another wonderful evening of opera!

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Italian Opera in Siena Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Siena.
How much does Italian Opera in Siena Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Siena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Italian Opera in Siena Experience take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Siena is not rushed.
Is Italian Opera in Siena Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 79 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Siena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Italian Opera in Siena Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Italian Opera in Siena Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1.3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Italian Opera in Siena Experience?
+
Around 28 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Siena can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Siena and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Italian Opera in Siena Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Siena within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Siena?
+
On Outty we rank every Siena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Brunello di Montalcino Wine-Tasting Trip from Siena, Skip the Line: Siena Duomo and City Walking Tour, Siena: A Wine Tour and Tasting Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Siena?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Siena?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
