About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Hallie K0 contributionsIf you don't mind living the tourist life, a fun night out.We were walking in one of the busiest tourist areas of Venice (Rialto) when we saw a poster for this concert, essentially an opera revue with a nine piece orchestra and costumes. Certainly a tourist attraction. Maybe we would have preferred a full symphony performance. But that's not what we walked right by. So why not embrace it? There were three vocalists, and all were incredibly talented. The musicians were expressive and talented. For what it is, it's pretty much perfect!Written August 30, 2024
- laurad_bee0 contributionsFun concert with amazing singers/musiciansWhat a beautiful concert. We loved the traditional costumes and the light-hearted approach. Would love to go again. I was asked up to dance whilst being serenaded lol, they very engaging.Written June 16, 2024
- 590nickm0 contributionsA must do during a trip to VeniceBrilliant show, one of my favourite things I did during my visit to Venice. Superb singers and the orchestra were also top-notch.Written May 23, 2024
- ElCidHertfordshire0 contributionsThe highlight of our trip to Venice!A brilliant evening's entertainment. We booked this because in Italy you must listen to some opera! I had considered going to a full length production but thought that 3 hours might be too long to sit through so decided on the Baroque costume opera which was a selection of songs from various well known operas. It was tremendous fun as the singers and orchestra were excellent and clearly enjoyed their performance. The singers were fully engaged with each other as welll as the audience and we loved every minute, we were on such a high by the end! We visited all the sights while in Venice and this was the highlight of our trip!Written May 15, 2024
- 258MichelleM0 contributionsA very entertaining eveningI took my mother, who loves this type of music. I’m not a fan of opera, but I really enjoyed these short pieces of some well known operas. We both laughed at the comical facial expressions and antics of the singers.We loved the costumes!Written May 6, 2024
- 664vickio0 contributionsWow what a wonderful experience!The theatre is lovely, acoustics are great, singers and musicians are truly excellent. Only caution is the stairs to get to the auditorium on the third floor are very difficult for those with walking difficulties.Written March 31, 2024
- W2874PEsandras0 contributionsLots of flouncing, fabulous costumes and falsettos. Loved it!The show is only 90mins but in retrospect ample for what is in essence a bit of a 'greatest hits' show. To be honest, I really wasn't quite sure what to expect given the price point of this event. This was based on London prices for opera tickets being prohibitive for most people, so wasn't sure that the quality would be matching a high ticket venue. I couldn't have been more wrong! The show was amazing, from the costumes, to the musicians to venue. Really, really worth a visit if like me you are faced with £200 in your home town to get a similar experience. Would have gone again had they had another show during my stay. Just amazing. If you're curious to know a little more about Opera, it's a great way to get an introduction and feel part of a grand experience. Sadly no photos allowed during the performance but managed to get a slightly grainy photo at the end so pointless posting it but I can confirm what you see is what you get. There is no skimping on the fabulous costumery.Written March 29, 2024

I was in Venice alone and this was an amazing opportunity, how to spend the evenings. Musicians were really great and the whole performance had very lovely atmosphere.

The musicians, particularly the flautist were spectacular and we were simply mesmerized! I highly recommend the event particularly those who are uncertain they can stay focused for a full-length opera or symphony.Written March 15, 2024

The clerk on reception was exceptionally rude and the organisation of the concert more generally was very poor.
I purchase tickets through Booking.com and the conformation specifically stated that I needed to redeem the tickets at the box office. When i went to redeem the tickets i was told this wasn't necessary and to come back on the night of the concert where a ticket would be issued.
On the evening, firstly there was a queue on the door to gain entry so despite arriving 30 minutes early, we were actually late taking our seats and missed the start.
Secondly the clerk issuing tickets was exceptionally rude and using a bizarre method of checking of peoples names and crossing them off a handwritten piece of paper. When presented with my booking confirmation, the clerk snatched my phone from me, deleting the open tab with my confirmation and then reacted angrily when it took a few minutes to relocate the confirmation because of a lack of internet connectivity at the venue.
All of this meant a very unpleasant experience which was then made worse when we were told (by the same rude clerk) that the concert hadn't started when clearly it had as it was playing when we sat down.
The actual performance was quite good, a short first act of roughly 20 minutes followed by an intermission and a second act of around an hour.
However, there was no explanation of how long the intermission would be, perhaps these details were presented to the audience when the concert started but we were stuck outside.
On the whole the concert was not great value for money due to the length of performance against the cost but it definitely would have been better if the venue was better organised with better and more polite staff.

Good points:
-
Bad points:
Musicians spent more time walking up and down than actually playing.
Musicians practice in an adjacent room that can be heared by the audience which completely ruins the immersion.
Video recording poorly policed by staff - better if phones were simply banned.
Pauses during pieces invited unwelcomed applause which breaks up the music.
Music is mediocre at best. Not sure if the instruments are poor or the musicians need to practice, but frequently put of tune and out of time.
For €30 we wish we had tried the concert at Chiesa San Vidal instead.
Stay away!!

Really enjoyed the music and the setting. We paid extra for front seats and think it was worth it to be closer to the stage. Lovely experience although my one piece of feedback was that the performance was shorter than advertised so felt a bit let down in terms of value for money.

Concert was held in an upper room in an achingly classical building. Sweeping staircases led us back to brief glimpse of Venice’s glorious past. The music was familiar. Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is one of the most recognisable pieces of music on the planet. The players were all in 17th century costume. It was carnival. It was Valentine’s Day. It was a night to remember

This was honestly my favorite part of our 3 days in Venice. I love this musical piece and know it very well, so it was such a treat to watch it be performed in such a historical place with amazing musicians and costumes. There was a surprising little set break before the Four Seasons started (the musicians played about 20-25 minutes of other music before) but it wasn't too long, maybe 5-10 minutes. It was worth payment the extra money for the front row as you could see the main musician moving his lightning fast fingers...very cool.

Having heard Vivaldi’s Four Seasons a hundred times before, both live and recorded versions, I wasn’t sure I needed to hear another performance, especially one targeting tourists in Venice. But it seemed a nice idea for an evening’s entertainment on a cold, rainy night.
And it was. And better than we had expected.
The musicians—three violins, viola, harpsichord (?) , cello, and bass—were expert and energetic. They must perform almost every night of the year, but there was no sign of just mailing it in. They seemed to enjoy their own company and the audience too.
The first violin, apparent leader, a senior member in age, was remarkable. The ensemble played as one. The acoustics in the church added just the right reverb.
We were eligible for senior tickets, which cost about $25 each. The performance, which lasted just over an hour, included two introductory pieces, The Four Seasons, and two excellent but brief encores for a very enthusiastic and appreciative audience.

The concert was very good, with the musicians playing very well. For non-classical listeners we were able to hear the familiar tunes and see them performed live. It was quite warm in the concert hall and would recommend taking a drink. There is just one male and one female toilet for about 250 people so would recommend not relying on it unless you really need to.

Wonderful performance in lovely church with fabulous atmosphere. Slightly spoiled with so many people filming and taking photos on their phones, better management of this would help as really distracting. Very hot inside so dress in light clothing!
The musicians were professional and put on an effortless performance which echoed around the decorated domes of the building. Chairs are really uncomfortable and creaky so don’t arrive too early as just over and hour is enough sitting on them!

Beautiful venue and beautiful music. But they allowed a baby to attend. Inappropriate and very loud. We listened to the baby chatter, cry, play with a rattle, rip up the program, etc. The musicians were extremely unhappy as were the members of the audience. The parents continued to chat throughout and video the musicians and their baby.

For the purpose of honesty, I must say I’ve never been to a live classical music venue of any sort before. That said, the performance was passionate, deeply moving and even chilling at times - by all the musicians involved. Special mention for the lead violin, whose spirit and professionalism were awe inspiring. The costumes and atmosphere were great as well, and the hall itself very beautiful and unique. My only minor issue were the folding chairs being slightly uncomfortable but it’s not even a gripe, rather a slight nuisance, and the whole experience made me forget it within the first minute of performance. Greatest highlight for me was the 3rd movement of Winter in Vivaldi’s four seasons. Highly recommended!

Probably best to walk - c10 minutes. The vaporetto on the Grand canal can be quite slow with lots of stops but if you do get off at Rialto walk straight ahead, turn right and you are there - c1 minute.

how far is the train station from the concert hall?
Written July 26, 2019
For the concert hall (if it is San Salvadore concert hall)you need the Rialto Vaporetto stop which is 6/7 stops from Ferrovia (the railway Vaporetto stop). It takes about 20-30 minuts depending on river traffic. It is then a 10-15 minutes walk from Rialto to San Salvadore square.
