Practical Information
- Internationally‐acclaimed musicians will guide your experience of the music with commentary and anecdotes in English.
- Immediately after the impressive concert, you will have the opportunity to meet the artists drinking Prosecco in the pleasant setting of an aperitivo, a small reception to round off your evening in a quintessentially Italian way.
The free Aperitivo after the concert is a characteristic of RomeOperaConcerts to increase the sense of a 'private event' through the opportunity to meet the artists and to know what they are trying to do with their performances. The RomeOperaConcerts free Christmas Aperitivo is very simple: some traditional and typical Italian Christmas sweets, such as Panettone and Pandoro, and some good sparkling wine (Spumante or Prosecco). The secret ingredient is friendship: to put sincere enthusiasm in making music and meeting the audience.
- Join pianist Giovanni Velluti and Tenor Alessandro Fantini and their team of artists.
