Discover the hidden gem of Lucca, the Church of San Giovanni, formerly a Templar church, which conceals an impressive Roman Spa, open to visitors. This enchanting setting is the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable musical experience. Every evening, a talented trio of performers - typically a soprano, tenor, and pianist - will regale you with a diverse program of music. This exclusive concert is a unique event, only repeated once a year. During the winter months (November 1st to March 31st), the concert venue shifts to the Oratorio di San Giuseppe al Museo della Cattedrale di Lucca, conveniently located just a stone's throw from the Church of San Giovanni. Each evening brings a new theme to the stage. On Thursdays, indulge in the operatic masterpieces of Puccini and Verdi, featuring a selection of arias, duets, and intermezzos from their most renowned works. Fridays are dedicated to the Puccini Opera Gala, with a showcase of arias and duets from the maestro's iconic operas. Saturdays bring a Night at the Opera, with a rich tapestry of pieces from the operatic repertoire, spanning from Handel to Puccini, and featuring all the major opera composers. On Sundays, Puccini's works are paired with traditional Neapolitan songs, including arias from his operas and Neapolitan melodies composed during his lifetime, creating a truly unforgettable experience.
