One evening we went to an Italian Opera concert, just two singers and a pianist and a selection of well known songs from operas; it was held in a decommissioned church where the sounds were fabulous.  The selection included arias from La Boheme, Romeo & Juliet; Marriage of Figaro; La Traviata; Rigoletto and Don Pasquale. 

It was a relaxed evening, the Soprano (Elisabetta Dambrouso) was elegant and had a beautifully crisp high voice; the Tenor (Eduardo Rampoldi) was complimentary in duets and fabulous on his own and the pianist (Nicolas Dal Cero) was brilliant and amusing with his animated manner and movements.  The two singers were as emotional, both vocally and physically, as you would expect.  The evening was a brilliant introduction to famous songs you would recognise but meant you didn’t have to sit for hours to hear them! 

We also spent a few hours wandering around Bardolino again before the event, this particular day it was a little cloudy, but the views were just as spectacular.
