Usage notes
- For a person's artistic or athletic performance, prestazione is common; for a show or concert as an event, use spettacolo or esibizione.
- In services and contracts, prestazione is formal and common: prestazione di servizi, prestazione lavorativa. In everyday speech, servizio often sounds more natural.
- With sports and exams, Italians often say fare una buona/cattiva prestazione. Avoid translating English 'performance' mechanically in every context.
