We attended an opera dinner on our second night in Rome and had an absolutely wonderful time. We were seated in a small room within the Doria Pamphilj with a few other diners at other tables, and the service was fantastic. They were very attentive and made sure you had enough water and wine throughout the show. It's a multi course dinner where you pick either meat or fish entrees from the menu. The food was yummy but it honestly took a backseat to the performance. Francescoantonio, Paola, and Tei were incredible, I was so taken by the music, the voices, and the pure emotion of each piece. read more

Old world charm! When in Roma it was only right that we went to an opera! What a treat to see Othello on a warm summer night in Rome! The opera house still holds her old charm with the additions of modern touches. We will definitely check it out again when in Rome! read more

Always an enjoyable experience! Great show, beautiful atmosphere & looking forward to returning!

Rome is a city for operas, and we have enjoyed them in Rome on previous trips. But the best place to experience opera in Rome is at Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. We attended a wonderful performance of Giuseppe Verdi's Aida at Teatro dell'Opera on our first Sunday in Rome this trip. The historic venue itself is well maintained, the seats quite comfortable for an opera in four acts, and the production was excellent, as were the principal singers and orchestra. Set design was enhanced by the use of digital imagery. read more

I will think about this tiramisu forever!! So delicious. We ate the pasta up with a few bites. Rabbit gnocchi wasn't crazy about but still tasty! Pesto was amazing and so was the octopus. read more

What a beautiful theatre! This place is just breathtaking. My husband and I visited Teatro Dell'Opera di Roma during our honeymoon. We wanted to do something different while in Rome and decided to get tickets for the opera Orfeo e Euridice. From the outside the Opera house looks like a normal building, but as soon as you walk in you are welcomed by a beautiful stair and very elegant decor and artwork. During the show, we were seating on a booth on the second level of the theatre. The view from our booth was amazing and it was honestly an unforgettable experience. The only thing that I wish I knew before coming here is how HOT the Teatro dell'opera is. We came here during winter and were all covered up but as soon as we were on our seats we were burning. As soon as the show was over, the staff was very quick to get people moving and out of the theatre. So I would recommend everyone to get here a few minutes before the show so you can really explore de theatre because you will probably not have enough time afterwards. read more

A really magnificent opera house with excellent acoustics where one can hear an Italian Opera sung the way it was meant to be sung. The design presentations are not exactly comparable to the Met in NYC but more than elaborate enough. The people of Rome pull out most of the stops when an opera is to be held. The street out front is cleaned, potted shrubs are added, the local police are present in dress uniforms, patrons arrived in their finest attire and a separate stopping point is set up on the street out front. The interior stuck me as somewhat La Scala like with a cubical like seating arrangements. And though may be struck dead on the streets of Milan for saying this, I thought the sound was much better Teatro Dell'Opera di Roma than at La Scala. read more

Spectacular and breathtaking. Seeing La Traviata performed in Rome was a bucket list item for me. The floor seats are plush and comfy. Acoustics are glorious- you can hear every pianissimo note sung from the stage. My only tip is to wear clothes that offer some flexibility- we went during the cold spell in Rome and got REALLY hot (read: very little air circulation). If you run warm, have layers you can remove and take advantage of buying a water bottle before you enter. read more

Just beautiful! We had balcony seats to the opera and enjoyed the view and opera . Only negative is one of the staff members (a gentleman )turned into Dr. Jeckell and was extremely rude when we were leaving. I rushed to sit at a bench just to change from y high heels to my flat shirt boots, because it was rainy and a little chilly outside . And he was rude and wanted me rushed out of the building . It took me less than two minutes to change my shoes and he made a face and stomped away. We paid a great amount of money for our balcony seats, and the rudeness was not appreciated. Other than that the venue was wonderful . read more
