    Glorious music, comfortable setting
    A well-deserved standing ovation ended this hour-long performance of opera arias by an extremely accomplished string quartet and two singers. I recognized only three or four selections, but the music was glorious. Very comfortable theater seating, air conditioned, full bar in collegial reception room. A highlight of my 12-day visit.

    Perfect Little "Taste" of Opera
    This was the perfect intro to opera for my family. The first violin in the string quartet was fantastic, and the two singers were very good. Everyone enjoyed it, even the people who weren't sure they wanted to experience operatic singing.

    Wonderful evening with great music
    I saw an opera here tonight and absolutely loved it. The string quartet accompanying the singers were simply fantastic. One of the best experiences during my two weeks in Itay. There was a bar when entering and a wonderful atmosphere. We were allowed to take our drinks with us to our seats and the show varried bewteen singing and acoustic performances. Highly recommend.

Best Money you will spend in Rome- Great taste of Opera
Nov 2019 • Couples
An amazing taste of opera with talented performers in an amazing venue! The palazzo was Sta Catarina’s home. The chapel to the side was amazing. Too the night with a look at the Pantheon at night. The performance is only an hour long and leaves you longing for more!

Wonderful night! Unforgettable experience!
Sep 2019 • Family
The concert itself was great and the staff were friendly and accommodating. My son loves classic music and he totally enjoyed this an hour long classical and opera concert. They told me my 2 years-old boy probably is their youngest audience. My family had a wonderful night and this is definitely an unforgettable experience for us. Highly recommend.

Best experience ever!
Aug 2017 • Couples
If you love classical music and opera look no further! My fiancé and I happened to walk by on our way to the Pantheon. We wanted to do something special for her birthday so we walked in to ask about the show. We met the manager Yousuf, and he was very nice in making sure we liked the program before going over tickets prices. The tickets are extremely reasonable and we had a fantastic view of the concert which was taking place later in the evening.

There is no strict dress code but most patrons arrived well dressed. Prior to the show we had an excellent glass of chianti and appetizers, again very reasonably priced. The theatre is small but it just adds to the intimate setting (very romantic). Again Yousuf helped make our night special by allowing a birthday dedication to my fiancé to which the artists played and sang a duet! The singers and musicians were amazing and the song selection was perfect as they focus on the classics. The chairs were very comfortable as the building had been renovated and we were neither hot or cold.

Afterwards Yousuf was kind enough to take our picture in the beautiful lobby.

I did not get the name of the young woman who was there to inform me of the fascinating history of the building and Saint Claire. She was very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English so I could understand.

The entire experience was breath taking and we will definitely be revisiting!

Lovely setting and Glorious music by three angels who sang like Maria Callas
Apr 2015 • Couples
I went to hear a lovely program of famous arias sung by three angels with voices like Maria Callas. Some of the songs were also interpreted thru ballet. The accompanying musical ensemble was a pianist, French horn player and flutist. . It was a splendid program in an intimate, small auditorium- Some of the selections from this program were "Vissi d"Arte", "Habanera", "Regnava nel Silenzio", "Quando M'en Vo". I can see and hear it even now as I remember how lovely all of it was.
Gustavo Cuccurullo, who manages the space, is warm and inviting to his guests.
There is a small bar and a quiet lobby for drinks and conversation before the program and during intermission. I was invited to view the chapel on the left side of the lobby before the program began. This space is dedicated to Caterina da Siena, who died in this building in 1380. There are actual masses held there at certain times of the year. It is exquisite. The Teatro Palazzo Santa Chiara is located close to the Pantheon and Largo Argentina in Piazza di Santa Chiara.

Perfect for novice & lovers of theatre
Apr 2023 • Friends
First time to attend an opera, completely enjoyed the experience, there was a string quartet and tenner and soprano singers. I was particularly impressed by the tenner. It was a memorable experience that was enjoyed by myself & my mum.
The theatre was comfortable and clean. It was an intimate performance. The venue was clean, we didn’t purchase any beverages prior to the event but some guests did & we were allowed to bring drinks into the theatre. Overall it was a delightful evening that I would recommend.

Much fun for good price
Apr 2023 • Couples
The Great Opera Arias Concert was indeed an experience. A small ensemble - Violin, two Violas and a Cello, a Soprano and a Tenor. They played together with such a fun - for themselves and for the Auditorium - with living expression and feelable heart. I make music by myself (only hobby), and so i know how much work that costs. Highly recommended, makes a lot of fun:-)!

LOVELY VENUE FOR LOVELY MUSIC
Sep 2018
Near the Pantheon and many beautiful monuments and sites you can find in Rome, great to go for a walk in the vicinity and then enjoy a nice concert to finish the evening.
