★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 99 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $178

Meet near Piazza Navona for an English introduction to Italian opera, then enjoy about an hour of live arias on Terrazza Borromini with wine, cheeses, salami, honey, and marmalade. Paola and fellow singers have hosted the program, followed by a guided visit to La Grande Bellezza rooftop, with Rome views and optional drinks by reservation.

“Whilst the opera itself was wonderful, the event itself does feel a bit rushed. The nibbles were beautifully presented but there was very little time to enjoy them before the singing started. There was also no interval or pause for a breather which would’ve been nice given that there is food, wines and a beautiful balcony to enjoy. Generally a good evening, but a bit rushed through for a premium excursion and given the amount paid.”
