Opera & Ballet with Dinner: Auditorium Santo Stefano al Ponte Vecchio

About the Event

In the heart of Florence, opera singers, joined by a classical dancer, and accompanied by a chamber ensemble, will perform famous opera arias for an unforgettable experience.

The most suggestive Opera arias by Verdi, Puccini, and other renowned romantic composers, performed by masterful soprano and tenor voices, are enriched by charming choreographies featuring a classical dancer from Florence Opera and Ballet Academy. The melodies of a Chamber Ensemble, consisting of oboe, strings and piano, will delight the public with the magic of Opera and Ballet.

Before the concert, indulge in Tuscan cuisine between the 18th‐century walls of Guelfi and Ghibellini Restaurant at Relais Santa Croce in the heart of Florence. Enjoy your meal among fine furnishings and frescoed ceilings, and take advantage of the opportunity to admire the wooden roof trusses based on a design by Leonardo Da Vinci. Situated in Relais Santa Croce, they were installed in 18th century to support the great chandelier of the Music Hall.
