It's a great introduction to opera. We saw Rigoletto and thoroughly enjoyed it. The acoustics are great and each act of the opera is introduced in English. I think it's worth paying the extra for the VIP tickets. Paying the extra means you get a seat in the first two rows but book as early as you can to try... More

We attended the Love Duets performance, which, with its lighthearted style, provided a wonderful introduction to opera. When I first saw the number of songs on the program, I thought I might be lucky to last until the intermission. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the performances from beginning to end. The four singers were all tremendous and the small... More

After reading the previous reviews I thought we'd be missing out not to attend this and that is more than true. My travelling friends were excited but then totally amazed when we had 2nd row tickets. We booked 2 months in advance and they had our name on the list. The singers are just amazing. Really couldn't recommend this more.... More

Found this by accident. Great fun and musically pretty good. We did the Love Duets lollipop programme on a Weds, which is good value and not too long. Arrive on time or you'll be locked out! More

Do not miss this chance to hear beautiful, professional voices in an intimate, historic setting that has wonderful acoustics! Performed in costume with excellent piano accompaniment, the version of The Magic Flute we saw was a joyful rendition of one of our favorite operas. The gentle narration by the founder of this professional,non-profit opera company and the superb quality of... More

I recently took in a performance of "Love Duets" from famous operas along with some friends at St. Mark's and we loved it! The venue was great and the performers extraordinary. We especially enjoyed the director and his piano expertise. The ticket proceeds all go toward a charitable effort which enhances the experience even more. Do take time to enjoy... More

We booked into La Boheme, at the last moment, and had a delightful evening of excerpts from this opera. It was amazing that even without the full opera, it was a very moving performance. A great introduction to first-time opera goers. More

What a wonderful way to experience the opera in Italy.The small personal venue of St. Mark's Church adds to the dynamic, professional voices that you hear. This was my second time to a performance and it was just as lovely as I remembered. Thanks again! More
