Opera Naples

"The event on 6/12/21 for Jacob Forever in concert was pretty disappointing. It was sold as a Jacob Forever concert. The information said the doors opened at 8 but this is misleading. Nobody knew when the concert would start or if the artist was in the building. At 11:45 we were still dancing with recorded music. I requested a refund from the owner of the event ( Alex?)since I had not received the services I paid for, and I got the most horrible and disrespectful treatment. He made sure to question me if I had ever been in a concert and argue with me as if I was supposed to know the artist was coming at midnight. He went farther questioning my origen. I explained him that the advertisement didn’t say that. They made a nightclub out of this “concert” and we simply had to wait until the artist show up, and never told publicly the time when the artist would start.. It was altogether a very unpleasant experience. I will never come to another event of this kind. I left the event at 12:14 and the artist had not show up yet."

"The venue is good, accustics are fine, and they keep the temperature human, so you don't have to bundle up in winter clothes to enjoy a performance. The 5 stars, though, is because last evening we heard Dan Miller and Lou Delgado do their annual jazz concert here, and it was superb! Dan Miller is a national treasure, and Naples is really fortunate to have him. He does great things for this community."

"Summer youth program is always well done, and Mikado is no exception. One more show Saturday at 7 PM, get there if you can!"

"I find Opera Naples to be a gem. Being as it is a smaller venue, there is not a single bad seat in the house. I’ve been enjoying tremendously their season, even though we haven’t been able to attend to nearly as many concerts as we wished: the almost one hour drive from our home, added to the (it would seem) American tradition of starting the concerts earlier in the evening than the European tradition, renders it almost impossible to make plans for week days performances. Nonetheless, it’s worth the effort. It’s important to mention that, as far as I know, Opera Naples is the only house of its type that offers tickets to veterans - through Vettix program - in the state of Florida. Taking into account they don’t have as many seats to sell as other venues of its kind, I believe that says a lot about the principles and ideas of those who are in charge of it."

"Best Little Recital hall in Collier County with over 250 seats !! Great for small productions and recitals ! Surprisingly accurate acoustics given the fact it was not designed for its current use !"
