What a truly amazing and memorable event! We were given an extremely interesting tour of the crypt, followed by the most beautiful concert. The team - Roma Opera Omnia are true professional's delivering a superb event. We would highly recommend this tour, it is excellent and worth every penny.

After a brief visit in the church, we headed to the crypt which housed four rooms decorated with bones mostly belonging to the Capuchins and one additional room without bones serving as their small chapel. The rooms with bones are incredibly interesting containing thousands of bones arranged as works of art. Each also contains the mummified remains of some of the monks. Afterwords, a concert with four singers performs religious songs through the ages. Listening with eyes closed is a heavenly sensation ending our unusual but definitely worthwhile experience.

What an incredibly unique experience. Our guide Angie was articulate and knowledgeable and provided an enthusiastic tour through the church and crypt which has no comparisons. The following concert left us in awe, the combined voices are from heaven.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 🥹 Me and my family, we have never seen something like this place, which made our experience very unique. The tour guide was passionate about what he was doing, so it was really interesting. We must admit that our favourite part was the concert! Sending big thanks to Paola Alonzi, Micaela Parrilla, Marco Ciardo and Stefano Sabene!!! They sang so beautifully evoking so many wonderful emotions. Since one of my family members had her birthday today, they also sang her a little happy birthday song and wrote little wishes onto the paper that was in the CD that we bought. We are truly glad to have come 💗

I had no idea what to expect from the concert. I was amazed and moved. I could have listened for hours!

This is an absolute must do! I have been to the Capuchin Crypt 6 times and this was the best of all the visits. First, Paola is incredibly responsive when booking tickets and makes it very easy to book everything. Don't be concerned about the payment process. This is my second time booking something with her and it's completely safe. Second, our tour guide was wonderful. His name was Lorenzo and he taught me things I did not know. Last, and most importantly, the concert. Beautiful, haunting, and an experience we will not forget. And will do again. I did not realize Paola was the soprano for the concert and her voice is stunning. Everyone, the tenor, contralto, and basso were also so wonderful. We wished the concert would go on longer. Be sure to buy a cd at the end for your memories! Grazie mille, Paola and team. We loved it. :)

This is the second time I’ve experienced this amazing tour, and performance. I cannot more highly recommend it. The crypt is fascinating; the music sublime.

Fascinating Crypt Tour. Interesting. Something different, that's for sure. Beautiful singing and acoustics. Easy to navigate.

Excellent experience from the moment I arrived. The experience is split into three sections; the museum and church tour, the crypt section and finally the concert. I also arrived early to sit in the church in silence for a while, which I would recommend if you have time as it is a very beautiful church. Lorenzo was the guide for the first two sections who was excellent. He was very friendly, informative and knowledgeable, and I particularly enjoyed hearing about the paintings (the highlight of which was a Caravaggio). What I liked is that the tour felt very calm (only around 25 people in total who were split between two guides) and if the group naturally lingered at a section he did not rush. The Crypt section speaks for itself, but again Lorenzo was knowledgeable and answered a couple of questions from some members of the group. I liked the fact it was stated this section could also be both entirely optional or skippable. Everyone in the group went in, but I can understand some people may be uncomfortable in there, so giving them the choice is good. Finally, the concert took place which was magnificent! Paola, Micaela, Marco and Stefano performed 10 pieces to the entire group. I will not say too much about this as it has to be experienced! What I will say is that as a visitor to this beautiful city, getting to hear the sacred music in person is something I will remember for a very long time. Thank you to everyone involved in this experience.

The Capuchins tour and concert is a perfect evening experience featuring a tour of the Capuchins Crypts of bones, an original Caravaggio painting, and a short, but spellbinding concert of religious music from the 15th century sung by opera singers (Schola Romana Ensemble).
