Very nice venue and show! Unfortunately the program was supposed to last for 2 hours and half but starting at 5pm, it ended at 6.30pm. The invitation was saying including two glasses of champagne, but I was told it was a mistake.

It was such a great event. Beautifully lit, spacious and atmospheric venue. Not to mention the exquisite performance by the musicians. Definitely recommend.

The concert was beautiful and the church is just stunning but keep in mind that during the winter, in the church it is actually colder than outside

This was a beautiful part of our trip I would highly recommend it wonderful

Beautiful experience! a mix of music, culture and entertainment!
