Sublime Experience! - My wife and I had the pleasure to meet Paola Alonzo and her tenor partner in Rome. The semi-private concert in the middle of Rome was spectacular. Not only were the singers's interpretations of the most famous arias sublime, but Paola thoughtfully introduced the audience to each song and presented its context and meaning in English, rendering the experience so much more meaningful, even for the novice opera fan or non-Italian speaker. We highly recommend this unique experience!

An astonishing performance and evening to have when you are in Rome - It has been an absolute delight to witness the soprano and tenor vocalists opera performance on the rooftops of Rome.
The evening was breathtaking, and one we will never forget.
We look forward to joining you again in the future.

Incredible! Incredible! - What an amazing experience right from the booking to the finish. Paola was so nice and accomodating during the whole booking process; very personable. They made it so special for my wife's 40th birthday dedicating a song for her. She was literally in tears out of joy and made her day super special. We loved all the songs, music, drinks and of course you cannot beat the view from the top. There was so much emotions, love and at the same time fun in the whole performance. We recommend it very very much for all Rome visitors, even for locals who appreciate Opera.

Romantic MUST!!!! - OMG!!!!! This is a romantic must! Small group setting (6-8 couples), overlooking Rome…So romantic (view of Rome, Wine & Opera singing)!
We were celebrating our 15th Anniversary & this by far was one of the best things that we did! Their singing & storyline was beautiful…
They are the nicest people, even dedicated a song to my wife for anniversary! This is a Romantic “MUST” in Rome, save money elsewhere, spend money on this… what an experience such an iconic view
P.S. tip your waiter & our guy kept the wine flowing!

A Fun & Unique Experience in the Heart of Rome - My mother and I were in Rome for the first time, so we were looking for unique experiences. We found this option, and thought it would be very fun. The weather was a little gloomy, but it didn't matter, as the musical performance was magnificent. The artists, Paola and Francescoantonio, sang 12-15 songs and provided us a great performance. The wine could have been a bit more plentiful (two glasses only), but the performance itself was a very fun time. After the performance, we had the opportunity to meet the artists and tell them how wonderful their show was. If you are looking for something different in the heart of the city, I recommend this show.

Wonderful opera experience with amazing views - What a delightful and unique experience! We’ve had the opportunity to visit Rome and other parts of Italy a number of times. Found this new experience on Tripadvisor and it lived up to our high expectations. It’s completely worth the price and time to experience this. The view is stunning since rarely have the rooftop views been this expansive and clear. Paola, Francescoantonio and pianist Tae Kim were just magical. the selection of aria was a nice array so that even I could recognize some of the songs although I am not an avid opera visitor. The staff was very attentive with check-in, appetizers and drinks. Refills were nicely and elegantly timed. Much appreciated the refills. The day last week was clear and blustery, so a little rattling from the bar’s outdoor umbrella, which the staff seemed to be holding to soften the sound. Not their fault though. We even purchased their CD so we can enjoy at home. It was a small and intimate group of about 20
people but lots of space so you’re not packed right next to strangers. The bread they serve is a little hard, so maybe no need to offer. The Prosecco was good. One thing we did notice was that it appears the rooftop bar is open during the performance. There was a gentleman having a pretty lengthy and loud conversation behind us during a portion of the performance. Myself and another gentleman asked them to please keep it down. And he did. That’s not performers or staff’s fault, but something for the hotel to reconsider since for the price, exclusivity and beauty of the arias it would be better without other bar patrons talking. Overall though a highly unique and recommended experience!! Bravo!

An Enchanting Opera Evening in Rome: Music, Sunset, and Perfect Hospitality - The opera show on the rooftop of Pamphilj Palace in Rome was an unforgettable experience. As the sun set over the Eternal City, the golden hues of the sky perfectly complemented the beautiful voices of the performers. With a glass of prosecco in hand, we were transported into a world of elegance and emotion. The rooftop provided stunning panoramic views, adding to the magic of the evening. The atmosphere was both intimate and awe-inspiring, making it a night to remember. This blend of music, history, and breathtaking scenery created a truly enchanting experience. The evening was made even more special by Paola, our gracious host. Her warmth and attention to detail elevated the entire experience, making everyone feel welcome and well cared for.

Great experience with a wonderful view of Rome! - Great experience - wonderful repertoire of Italian opera favourites by to very professional performers. The snacks and wine provided were good, although the bread was a little stale. The opportunity to watch the sunset from the rooftop bar with its 360deg view of Rome was a bonus!

Book It! - This was truly a highlight of our trip! Everything was beautiful: the settting overlooking Piazza Navona, the aperitivo, and most of, the music! I’m a novice when it comes to opera, and my husband and father were skeptical, but we all walked away in a better mood. I especially loved how Paola provided the context for each song, she would explain a little about the opera and scene from which the song occurred, and even though none of us understand much Italian, we could feel the emotion and beauty of the song. My only complaint- it just flew by! This was such lovely, intimate experience- I would book it again!
We had a little glitch with a quick passing shower, and the staff at the venue was quick to pass out little parasols!

EAT BEFORE YOU GO - Came here every year for six plus years, Shows and food has always been good.
Everyone has their bad night, and this one is no exception. Got seated no problem looking forward to good food good show. I didn't count but from number of twenty seats in a row i would say 150 people. TWO yes TWO servers. Bless their hearts they striped on their pot and began to serve. First came the rolls and next a slice of turkey,
150 people later away to the kitchen they flew like a, not in too much of a hurry person.
Then came the beans and the pulled pork, about a tablespoon of it. Away to the kitchen they amble along. Then came corn on the cob husk and all, you had plenty of time to make a corn husk doll. Last but not least the apple whatchamacallit came in view. All this took around 45 minutes while being sung to by the campfire boys. The LIGHT SHOW came with the price, it was great.
