Sorrento: Three Tenors Concert & Neapolitan Songs Night

Summary

Opera arias and Naples songs echo in Sorrento’s museum hall

You’ll sit among locals in Sorrento’s Correale Museum as three tenors and a live quartet bring Italian opera and classic Naples songs to life. Expect laughter between arias, familiar tunes like “’O sole mio,” and an atmosphere that feels both grand and intimate. The night lingers with you long after you leave.

What’s the experience like?

“Wait, is that ‘Nessun Dorma’ already?” someone whispered behind us as the three tenors took the stage at the Correale Museum in Sorrento. I’d been to concerts before, but this one felt different — maybe it was the way the old wood smelled faintly sweet, or how the audience sat up a little straighter when Francesco, Alessandro, and Stefano started singing. Our seats weren’t right up front but honestly, you could feel every note from anywhere in that room.

The first half was all Italian opera — Tosca, Rigoletto, Turandot — with a string quartet and piano filling out the sound. I’m not an expert (my partner is; she kept nudging me at dramatic bits), but even I got goosebumps when they hit those high notes. The tenors joked between songs, sometimes switching into dialects I barely caught. There was this older couple near us who mouthed along to every aria — I guess these melodies are just part of life here.

After a short break (grab water early if you want it — lines form fast), everything shifted. Suddenly it was all Neapolitan songs: “’O sole mio”, “Torna a Surriento”. People clapped along, and one of the tenors winked at a kid in the front row who looked totally starstruck. It felt less formal, more like a party where everyone knew the words except me (I tried humming; didn’t help). Li laughed when I tried to say “Surriento” properly — probably butchered it.

The concert lasted about 80 minutes but time got weird; some moments stretched out forever and others zipped by. When we stepped outside into the Sorrento night, there was this strange hush after all that music — like my ears were still ringing with those last harmonies. I still think about that view from the museum steps, lights scattered down toward the sea.
