Opera Serenades in Palazzo Doria Pamphilj with traditional roman dinner

About the Event

Explore the concealed wonders within the Secret Apartment of Princess Doria Pamphilj, a treasury of art and history, exclusively unveiled for a privileged few.

This is an evening of simultaneous pleasures, listening, and tasting.
After your Opera Concert, we offer you the chance to discover even more flavors of Rome with a special dinner.
The cosy Restaurant 'Il piccolo Vicolo' with the dedication to Roman cuisine has joined with us to give you a full sensory experience by sampling the finest food and wine that Rome has to offer.
Opera and food together bring about a one of a kind experience.

Immerse yourself in a serenade accompanied by world‐class voices resonating through rooms steeped in nobility and adorned with masterpieces. Every note weaves into the historical tapestry of this space, where classical furnishings and opulent artworks collectively echo a splendid era long past.

Within the very halls that the Doria Pamphilj family has graced for centuries, partake in a concert that pays homage to this legacy. Each carefully chosen piece mirrors the architectural and artistic marvels enveloping you, delivering an educational and enchanting performance.

Our curated repertoire guides guests on an auditory journey through Italy’s musical heritage, resonating with the essence of the nation's rich history. Led by a sublime soprano, whose voice captivates like the narratives within each aria, the performance is enhanced by the melodic whispers of a transverse flute and the resonant strumming of a baroque guitar. The theorbo's deep, sonorous plucks add a layer of baroque richness, crafting a multi‐sensory tribute to Italy’s musical masters.

With exclusivity as our signature, attendance is intentionally limited, fostering a personal connection to both the music and the majestic surroundings.

Secure your tickets now and be among the select few to revel in opera within the private chambers of Princess Doria Pamphilj. It transcends mere performance it becomes a cherished memory of your Roman holiday, an extraordinary event beyond the ordinary.
