Some suggestions for opera concerts in Rome

 

Opera concerts, what are those? “I’ve never heard of them; I know about opera such as comical or lyrical, but not opera concerts”. It’s really quite simple: opera concerts refer to opera that’s performed “like a concert. Often the set isn’t as elaborate as that of an opera stage; moreover, a concert doesn’t require the original costumes. An opera concert is based on the singers’ skills as well as an orchestra performance that is very faithful to the original. Opera concerts have an intensity similar to the opera itself. So come and enjoy opera in Rome!
