Rome: Rooftop Bar Opera Show
An exciting Opera concert, with the protagonists of the Operas by Verdi, Puccini, Rossini, Bellini, and more awaits you on the Rooftop “La Grande Bellezza”, renowned to be one of the most beautiful in Rome. It is in fact the only rooftop that, from the heart of the historic center, gives you a 360-degree panoramic view of the city—from the top of the historic and sumptuous Pamphilj Palace to Piazza Navona. It was here that scenes of the Oscar-winning film “The Great Beauty” were filmed. In this prestigious environment, you can attend an exclusive rooftop event. An aperitif will be served, which will consist of a drink of white or red wines or non-alcoholic drinks. You will also be able to choose from a rich selection of Italian cheese, cold meats, and sparkling wine for a final toast with the artists. __________________________________ Timeline of the event: • Entrance in the Rooftop "The Great Beauty" of Palazzo Pamphilj where scenes of the Oscar-winning film were set • Aperitif on the Rooftop (white or red wine, taste of Italian cheeses, selection of Italian salami) • Open Air Opera Concert on the Rooftop with a breathtaking view of Rome • Introduction in English to the musical program • Guided tour after the Concert to the Terrace Borromini located on the fourth floor of the Palace with a wonderful view of Navona square __________________________________ About Palazzo Pamphilj: The Pamphilj Palace, a baroque masterpiece, is part of a large building complex on the right side of Piazza Navona, that includes the S.
