Love Duets’ Concert: you do not have to be a lover of Italian Opera to enjoy this wonderful evening. It’s set in a small church from 1800’s. You have a piano, soprano & tenor performing Opera’s love song and Italian love songs. The setting and performance is overwhelmingly powerful. You’ll be moved to tears by the emotions. Not to be missed.

My wife and I attended the "Love Duets" in early November, 2019. it was outstanding! Franz--the piano player and organizer--gave a short explanation in english before each song. Franz is a crackerjack pianist who accompanied each song. The performers were top notch and we particularly appreciated the acting. This isn't a dry recital, the performers get it on with plenty of acting which adds a great deal of character to the performance. It is obvious that they enjoy the performance as much as the audience does. We've seen some of these types of offerings where the performers simply get up and do the job and there is no interaction with the audience--it is just a recital. ...not the case with Opera at St. Mark's--there is plenty to like with the performance. By the way, a block from St Marks is the excellent Trattoria 4 Leoni Restaurant--a fine choice for dinner before the show and you'll get set up with the waiter, Alphonso, who speaks great english, makes very good recommendations and is thoroughly entertaining. Have a great evening and leave St. Mark's humming some tunes!

I love Lucca, and one of my favorite things to do is go to the concerto in the church in Piazza S Giovanni, which takes place every night of the year! The music and singers are different every time I go, and all amazingly talented. The concert is just a little over an hour, so no need to sit through a whole opera :-) It is one of the most special things about Lucca since Puccini was born there. Don’t miss it!! It’s also under 25 euros.

Amazing Opera in a great old (former) church. With no more than 60 people filling up the space you feel as if you're really a part of the music. Both the performers, the female tenor and male piano player were incredible and put everything in to their performances. A must do in Florence. My wife and I aren't huge Opera buffs but I defy anyone to go to one of these shows and not be blown away!!

Every concert will show an unique selection of the most famous arias and duets, taken from the great Italian opera. Masterpieces interpreted by great artists who have been performing on stages of the best theaters both in Italy and abroad. Exciting concerts, where you can recollect the passions of Tosca, the emotions of Madama Butterfly, La Bohème and La Traviata, the prank of Il barbiere di Siviglia and much more… A memorable trip into the Italian Opera, made even more enjoyable by the evocative and intimate atmosphere in which it takes place: the deconsecrated Church of Santo Stefano. From March to November: every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 9.15 pm
