What you'll see and do
La Traviata is a three-act opera composed by Giuseppe Verdi on an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave. It was first performed on March 6th, 1853 at La Fenice opera house in Venice. Verdi insisted on finding an original and provocative idea for the audience in Venice, and decided to base his work on La dame aux Camélias (1852), a play adapted from the novel by Alexandre Dumas (fils). The piece was originally titled Violetta, after the protagonist. This famous opera remains among the most performed masterpieces of the entire lyric tradition. Opera e Lirica soloists, from the most important Italian theaters and Music Academies, will perform this breathtaking story accompanied by choir and orchestra conducted by Maestro Elvin Dhimitri. The audience will enjoy an extraordinary and memorable experience, surrounded by the fascinating atmosphere of St. Paul within the Walls Church.

Wonderful taste of...
Wonderful taste of Italian opera in an intimate setting. Musicians and vocalists were excellent. Easy to access in the heart of Rome.

Memorable evening
What a lovely way to spend the evening! Of course La Traviata is stunning music. These singers and musicians were outstanding! And the church where the opera was held had wonderful acoustics and was quite beautiful.

Beautiful
Beautiful venue making the opera seem personal. The actors/singers have a wonderful show, making my first opera a lovely experience.

Beautiful Performance in a Beautiful church.
This is an amazing experience where the setting places you on stage with the performers rather than customers in an auditorium. This is not the Teatro La Fenice or a slick Broadway with pyrotechnics and flying performers but the venue (St Paul within thevwalls), vocals, music, and dance were a treasured experience for me. Location is eastern third of Rome near Termini Station, the Opera (Teatro del'Opera di Roma), and St Mary Maggiore. It is almost due South from the Borghese Museum, a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute drive.

Not recommended, nothing to do with an Opera experience
Very disappointing experience. We were three people and paid for VIP tickets, seated in row 5, yet had extremely poor visibility of the performance. Unless seated towards the side of the row, it was very difficult to see what was happening. We appreciate opera and are familiar with La Traviata, and unfortunately we also found this particular production to be of a very poor standard. The church is beautiful, but in our experience it was simply not a suitable venue for staging this production in this configuration. We would actually have left earlier, but did not want to disturb the audience or performers, so we waited until halfway through. Interestingly, two guests seated in row 2 with the higher-tier “Exclusive” tickets also left at that point. When we complained afterwards, Opera e Lirica told us that we should have raised the visibility problem during the performance and that they could have moved us. However, we were three people and there were not three suitable seats available at the front. More fundamentally, customers paying a premium for VIP seats should not have to complain after the performance starts and hope to be relocated simply in order to see the show. Our refund request was refused. For us, this was unfortunately one of the most disappointing experiences of our trip to Rome and certainly not an experience we could recommend at this price.

La Traviata The Original Opera by Giuseppe Verdi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does La Traviata The Original Opera by Giuseppe Verdi cost?
+
Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does La Traviata The Original Opera by Giuseppe Verdi take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Rome is not rushed.
Is La Traviata The Original Opera by Giuseppe Verdi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 74 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule La Traviata The Original Opera by Giuseppe Verdi?
+
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 La Traviata The Original Opera by Giuseppe Verdi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book La Traviata The Original Opera by Giuseppe Verdi?
+
Around 26 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 Rome 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 Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does La Traviata The Original Opera by Giuseppe Verdi 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 Rome 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 Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. 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 Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. 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 Rome?
+
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.
What is included in La Traviata The Original Opera by Giuseppe Verdi?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for La Traviata The Original Opera by Giuseppe Verdi?
+
