Wonderful evening of musical classics.
Wonderful evening with a great programme and excellent performers. The voices were absolutely beautiful and filled me with emotion. The Programme was guided by a knowledgeable compere. The whole evening was enjoyable and great value. Thank you.

Fantastic. A different, cozier way to enjoy Lirica.
We loved the show in the Saint Andrew’s church.. Three amazing performers took turns singing Puccini’s greatest hits. Great piano, incredible voices that truly shined in the cozy Church. It’s a more personal and intimate experience where you get to feel all the power of the artist’s voices. You also get the chance to talk to them at the end over a glass of prosecco
Response from the operator: sabinacJ7354ER, thank you‼️

Definitely recommend!
Have never seen live opera music before and this was great. Lovely pleasant atmosphere, a great insight to this type of music and very enjoyable. The performers were incredibly impressive!

Fantastic opera concert
Fantastic Opera Concert The two opera singers (a soprano and a tenor) as well as the pianist were simply top-notch. Not only did they sing the arias, but they also acted them out like in an actual opera. Very professional. At the end of the concert we were given glasses of champagne and dessert. It was well worth the visit and the price was very affordable for such an enjoyable evening.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rome: Christmas Opera Concert & Traditional Italian Aperitivo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Rome: Christmas Opera Concert & Traditional Italian Aperitivo cost?
+
Prices start at €12 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 Rome: Christmas Opera Concert & Traditional Italian Aperitivo 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 Rome is not rushed.
Is Rome: Christmas Opera Concert & Traditional Italian Aperitivo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 44 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 Rome: Christmas Opera Concert & Traditional Italian Aperitivo?
+
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 Rome: Christmas Opera Concert & Traditional Italian Aperitivo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rome: Christmas Opera Concert & Traditional Italian Aperitivo?
+
Around 15 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 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rome: Christmas Opera Concert & Traditional Italian Aperitivo 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 Rome: Christmas Opera Concert & Traditional Italian Aperitivo?
+

Where is the meeting point for Rome: Christmas Opera Concert & Traditional Italian Aperitivo?
+
The experience starts at Chiesa Evangelica Metodista di Roma, Via Firenze 38, Rome, 00184, Italy. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Rome: Christmas Opera Concert & Traditional Italian Aperitivo offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
