Neapolitan song was born for bare voices and mandolins, and in Naples you can still hear it that way: hour-long concerts in rooms of fifty seats, with no amplification, and the story of each song told between one piece and the next, from ’O sole mio to the tarantella. They're short evenings that cost about as much as a pizza and fit nicely before or after dinner. For everything else, concerts, theatre, opera in courtyards, museum festivals, there's the city programme, which we update every week with times and prices checked at the source.

Shows in Naples: the things people ask us most.
Concerts of classic Neapolitan song are held every evening in small halls in the centre, a short walk from the Archaeological Museum: an hour of music with no microphones, booking recommended. For concerts and events on a specific date, check the weekly programme on the Things to do page.
About an hour. It's designed for visitors: you can go before dinner or straight after. The songs are introduced in English too, and the repertoire runs from 19th-century classics to the tarantella.
On the Things to do in Naples page: pick your dates and see concerts, theatre, festivals and evenings in museums with time, place and price. It's updated every morning, and every Thursday we publish an article with the best of the weekend.
For the small halls, yes: there are few seats and at weekends they sell out. You book online with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. For big concerts at the Arena Flegrea or the Palapartenope, tickets are sold through the official channels listed in the programme.
