Even on a tight schedule, Vivaldi 'Four Seasons' Church Concert earns the hours.
Allow 1–1.5 hr.
Hearing Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' performed live by a small string ensemble in a candlelit Baroque church — in the city where Vivaldi composed and taught — can be a genuinely lovely, accessible evening, especially for those who'd never sit through a full opera. The catch: quality varies a lot between the (many) competing companies, the more touristy 'costumed' shows can feel like a tourist product, and the same warhorse program repeats nightly.
