St Mark's church provides a wonderful venue for their varied programme of opera. Unabridged operas are performed in the church to a limited audience. On this occasion I saw Madame Butterfly, previously I saw La Traviata. The professional singers are superb, as are the acoustics, and it feels as if you are at private performance. Props are minimalistic but effective,... More

we met some people who had been and highly recommended a good reason for us to go back soon as if I need one

Wonderful evening, saw Barber of Seville and laughed so hard. The pianist was superb and quite entertaining. My first opera and loved it. Extremely small setting I think only 5 rows so just about every seat is great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, also great neighborhood-safe to walk the streets 24/7 and lots of good restaurants.

Just got back from a fantastic evening at st marks opera in Florence. Went on recommendation of reviews - and my daughters encouragement to do something different. We are not opera lovers - but this small venue and 5/6 cast and pianist made for a very special night. They were so close - we saw la traviata and they were... More

This was my first opera ever. I saw The Barber of Seville. The performance and cast was fantastic and hilarious. I strongly recommend making time for this on your next trip to Florence. The church is also in a great neighborhood with lots of food and locals.

This is my first time to see Opera and I have to admit that I really enjoy it. We reserved tickets online for "La Traviata" and it was such a great performance. Highly recommend if you are in Florence! I and my friend had a wonderful evening and we sure will go back for a different show next time we... More

Money from the tickets and champagne at intermission is used to help children in India. the opera was a good value on its own, but knowing what they were doing with the money made it even better. There were different performances almost every... More

Very best of things to do in Florence. Add this to the must do list. Lots to cover in this area, so avoid the street scammers and knock off vendors and see the quality sites like this.

You don't have to be an opera aficionado to really enjoy an evening at St. Mark's. It's a very intimate setting (I would say we were no more than 15 feet from the performers) and the acoustics were great. Were these the two best opera singers ever? I wouldn't know, but I do know that we loved every minute of... More
