Additional Information & Description
Open-Air Opera and Aperitif brings a live musical evening to Terrazza Borromini, on the exclusive terraces of Piazza Navona in Rome. The setting is part of the appeal: you can listen outdoors while admiring a sweeping view of the Eternal City. Rather than taking place inside a theatre, this performance places Italian opera against the city itself, with the terrace providing the backdrop for the evening.
Arias and love duets by Italian composers
The concert programme draws on Verdi, Puccini, Bellini and Rossini, with arias and love duets at its heart. These selections bring both solo singing and paired voices into the performance, giving the evening more variety than a programme built around arias alone. The live opera concert is included in your ticket. Its focus is on selections from the composers’ works, so the evening centres on individual musical pieces rather than a complete staged opera.
An Italian aperitif during the concert
The ticket also includes a traditional Italian aperitif served during the performance: white or red wine, accompanied by a selection of Italian cheeses and salami. Food and drink form part of the concert itself, rather than a separate stop before or after it. The combination gives the evening a clear shape—music accompanied by wine and savoury Italian fare. The refreshments are an aperitif, not a full dinner.
Private terrace entrance and digital tickets
Private entrance to the terraces is included, alongside the performance and refreshments described above. Tickets are delivered instantly, and smartphone tickets are accepted. These are the confirmed access arrangements for the evening; the private entrance refers to terrace access, rather than a private concert or exclusive use of the venue.
Where to arrive and how long to allow
The arrival address is Via S Maria dell’Anima 30. Arrive 15 minutes before the start of the event. The experience lasts one hour and 30 minutes, with that advance arrival time additional to the concert visit. Allow for both when planning the evening.
