Cavea Concerts

For an outdoor theatre and concert venue, I have to say that the acoustics are perfect. Especially when full of spectators, as it was for the recent Yusuf/Cat Stevens gig. The only problem we had was finding the place. We arrived on foot and didn't see any signs.

The Cavea is a fabulous venue. The open air amphitheatre has steeply raked seats, so everyone gets a good view, and the artist is enveloped by the crowd. The sound was great. The architecture is gorgeous. I saw Lorde there (supported by Marlon Williams), and the combination of the venue and the crowd really energised her. Parking underneath is surprisingly easy and cheap (€3.50 for the evening). Some minor downsides: the ushering and signage were poor: one usher looked at our tickets when we asked for help and waved in the general direction of the seats, which turned out to be the wrong way. There were enormous queues for the poorly staffed bars, but very helpful staff once you reached the front.

Stunning venue and great concert! If I were to nit-pick, I would add a couple more toilets (at least for sold-out concerts because there weren't nearly enough).

Today I saw and heard Jacob Collier at the Cavea. It was a great concert! An open air venue smack in the middle of Rome.

Truly amazing experience!
