The concert was absolutely amazing! Beautiful music played with passion! A definite must when visiting Venice.

My husband & I were so glad we attended -- despite the rainy evening! It was worth The musicians are fabulous (& I know chamber music & good playing). The costumes & staging added to the performance and made us feel like were transported back to Venice as wealthy people! Our only "challenge" was figuring out (while it was raining), which line was for those of us who were in front section with reserved tickets! It would have been nice to have had a place to line up & wait inside!

Great experience, and a great event for those looking for an introduction to classical music. I wouldn’t say the music was the best, but the experience was well worth it.

The concert itself was excellent. However, we would have preferred to have chosen and paid for specific seats rather than be told to sit anywhere from row 4-12.

Amazing great maestro talented orchestra atmosphere is charming and back in time Venice at the right light and music great professional years of experience

The singers and musicians were really good. A little deceived by the theater, I was hoping a bigger and more decorated theater. Deceived also by the fact that we couldn’t take any short videos…. To remember, not even for posting….

This is such a magical evening in Venice. The singers are the very best and the show is beautifully crafted to be a great fit for everyone. This is a perfect tasting of opera in a setting that dreams are made of. Pure magic!

We loved it! Very enjoyable. Exceeded our expectations and the venue was great! All the performers were very talented and we thoroughly enjoyed all the music and especially the costumes.

I liked so much the place, and I really enjoyed the concert. The musicians' clothing was very striking and eye-catching. I loved the maestro's performance in the second part.

We went to the opera, and it was so great. It was bite-sized and all the recognizable “hits.” There are humorous characters and just the right length, so very entertaining! Well worth the time & money.

In a nice old palace great music and costumes… we enjoyed being transported in the past for a moment!

That most beautiful experience. I attended with high expectations and was more than please. Not only for the environment but also the excellent music level and performance

Amazing production in Venice, authentic costumes with incredible musicians and spectacular performances.

As lovers of classical music, and since we found ourselves in the birthplace of Vivaldi—the enchanting Venice—we decided to kick off our stay by attending a concert: The Four Seasons! What better way to begin our vacation there? By chance, we stumbled upon the theater around noon on December 1st and bought tickets... thankfully, not the most expensive ones! Note: It was impressive (in a negative way) that they didn’t accept credit cards and only wanted cash! We arrived early to get good seats. The venue was beautiful, well-preserved, and truly set the mood for the era. Unfortunately, though, the same cannot be said for the musicians. The only redeeming aspects were their costumes and the cellist's commendable efforts to maintain some standard. He seemed desperately trying to hold things together. Where do we even begin? Should we talk about how almost everyone was out of tune (especially the first violin in the first part... we’d rather not even go there)? How they lost sync with each other? How it seemed they hadn’t rehearsed as much as they should have? Or how utterly uncoordinated they were? Even music conservatory students would have performed far better because, at the very least, they would have prepared seriously for such a concert. We can’t tell if it was just this particular performance that was so poorly executed or if it was a last-minute “cash grab” with minimal preparation and few rehearsals. But when you’re charging €45 per person (and in cash, no less), your performance level should be on par—especially in Vivaldi’s city, where expectations are exceptionally high. Our criticism stems from the fact that we are musicians in a major orchestra in Athens, Greece and teachers at conservatories, so we have significant experience and can easily recognize when something is poorly executed and sloppy. What a shame!

Music was good. Loved sitting in the "old" historic building with historic detail and musicians in period clothing.lived experiencing a bit of historic Venice.
