Excellent performance and great setting. Definitely something to do if you enjoy opera without investing an entire evening. A little dressier than I expected.

Magnificent, beautiful and awe inspiring. Such talented singers and such beautiful arias! A magical moment indeed.
The booking was easy and while not opera buffs we thought it was magical. The setting was beautiful and hearing the passion and emotion of the music set against the backdrop drop of Piazza Navona was beautiful. A great way to spend 2 hours on a hot Rome evening.
The most amazing way for us to spend our 5th Anniversary!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
Lovely evening- beautiful location and superb musical experience. Sunshine made it feel warm, but we were provided with small umbrellas to offer shade.
Great evening. Performers were excellent and very connected to the patrons. Several guest were returns, shows how popular this booking is. Recommend to all while in Rome.
This was one of the highlights of our time in Rome! The setting was classic, the service was charming, the food was great, and the music was breathtaking. Their emotion was infectious, their voice powerful yet warm, and their personalities shined through. Paola in particular was so inviting, engaging, and gracious. She is a very special person. My wife and I are not opera snobs. So, I can't evaluate it in that way. What I can say without hesitation is that we had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a lovely evening in Rome.
My mum and I had the most beautiful evening at this intimate opera event. From the moment it began, the atmosphere felt special, and it only got better as the performances unfolded. Paola truly has the voice of an angel. Her singing was breathtaking, full of emotion and grace, and she carried herself with such class and elegance throughout. Beyond her incredible talent, she was also so warm and friendly, which made the experience feel even more personal and memorable. The male singer was equally fantastic, with a powerful and captivating voice that complemented the evening perfectly. Together, their performances created such a moving and emotional experience that stayed with us long after it ended. It was a truly touching night, and one we won’t forget. We will definitely be back to see Paola perform again. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for something special and uplifting.
Fabulous experience, lovely venue with great views. Communicating was very easy & Paola most helpful with booking amendments. Would deffo recommend
We spent 5 nights in Rome and this rooftop opera was one of the highlights of our trip. The music was beautiful, emotional, and very professionally done. The setting was so intimate and very comfortable it was like your own personal opera. It lasted about an hour and a half and was just stunning. The views from the rooftop were incredible. The wine and appetizers were delicious and filling. We highly recommend this and if ever we find ourselves in Rome we will be back. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable evening!
This was truly a dream come true. Opera up close and personal on a beautiful rooftop in Rome with wine and aperitif? AMAZING! The experience was truly wonderful and one of the best experiences of my life. I felt like a VIP.
Paola was incredibly kind and welcoming – from the very beginning we felt truly taken care of. The open-air opera arias concert completely amazed us; I had goosebumps more than once. The atmosphere was beautiful, intimate and full of warmth. It was the perfect birthday evening for my husband and could not have been more special. A truly wonderful experience – highly recommended and a must-do when visiting Rome!
This was by far the most breathtaking performance my husband or I have ever seen! I've never had the pleasure of feeling so many feelings from music, and I was so emotional, in the best way! These two will captivate you and change your life, just as they did to us. There is no better way to spend an evening in Rome!
Spectacular! I highly recommend that anyone visiting Rome go see the opera. It gave me goosebumps. What a night to remember!
It was a beautiful afternoon at terrazza Borromini - Palazzo Pamphili in Rome, with Paola and Francescantonio singing and Kim at the piano. The best way to finish our vacation in great style! :)
This was a great experience. The singers were great, the songs they picked some of my favorites and staff super friendly. We arrived a few minutes late but they were accommodating and the experience very enjoyable. I would just note that the description about the post performance tour was slightly misleading, in that we just went to the rooftop of the building where there was a bar and were able to take some scenic pictures (which was nice, but wasn't any sort of tour per say).
It was a great experience to enjoy opera with the great view and wine. The song lists are consisted with popular opera songs and not too long. It would be good for beginners to experience opera, though it can be a bit too casual if you are looking for something more authentic.
What a fantastic experience, I would definitely recommend this event. The opera singers were amazing.Paola explained the story behind each of the songs.
My husband and I spent an absolutely lovely afternoon at the event…. Between the wine and hors d’euorvers, the magnificent view, and the *incredibly* talented singers we could not have been more delighted with the experience. The soprano took time to introduce each song and explain its context and significance. It was the perfect ending to our first visit to Rome. Would HIGHLY recommend to all travelers - especially those who are inexperienced with opera, like myself!
It was an amazing experience.The location played a big aprt as well, tho I could hear those beautiful songs everywhere.Ive always been fascinated by opra, but they truly brought it to life.Their combination of singing and acting was so unique and I absolutly loved it
What a truly amazing experience, Paola voice was incredible , the evening was magical and unforgettable with such an intimate gathering, all the storylines were explained so well to understand the lyrics food was top class , would recommend me this unforgettable evening one I will treasure xx
What an amazing night , Paola was Spectacular as was all , it’s an intimate gathering and amazing views , lots of different aspects to a perfect evening and night , food was excellent , thank you Paola for making our anniversary extra special . Highly recommend this venue
This was a magical and unique experience - a beautiful setting, wonderful music and singing and at the same time is was intimate and engaging. Highly recommend to everyone wants to sample Italian culture in a new and memorable way!
This tour is a lovely way to experience opera, aperitif, vino and a beautiful view of Rome. Che bella!
This is a great experience for those who love opera. Located at the heart of Piazza Navona, this rooftop concert provides snacks and wine for it's viewers to enjoy while listening to beautiful arias.
This was a unique experience and something that we won’t forget. Singers were amazing and the setting was spectacular. Gorgeous views.
We had such a magical night at the Open Air Opera! The singers are so talented with beautiful voices! I am so glad my husband and I got to enjoy the night with wine, food and music. We were also able to go to the roof deck and enjoy the Gorgeous View of Piazza Navonna! Thank you so much Paolo
Truly breathtaking opera performance and views, in a small group setting. We had a wonderful evening. It was Really special
Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The Opera stars were outstanding, and a good selection of arias was presented. The hotel staff were extremely kind and the food was superb. I would recommend this event to anyone interested in Opera. An amazing view of Rome too. Thanks again.
The open air performance was amazing, literally brought tears to my eyes. The duo sang around a dozen different arias and made my 40th birthday one to remember. After the performance we had a table booked for dinner in the restaurant. The food was first class, the service was fine but not overly friendly!
Tonights Opera and Aperitivo was a night we will treasure forever.💗 Such an intimate and Beautiful venue. It far exceeded our expectations. The weather didn't allow us to be on the terrace but it still was such an incredible evening in a beautiful room. We enjoyed the wine and charcuterie but honestly the Operatic singing was so incredible and heartfelt it brought tears to our eyes. We also appreciated the brief introductions of each musical piece. Thank you !
45 min of singing. Really cool singers. Wine and food ok. But you really have to go away after the show is over…
Opera is boring. I turn it off on tv. I change the channel on the radio. But when you hear their voice carried on breath, it is amazing. You cannot record this and enjoy it. You have to hear it in person. It is beautiful. The meal to follow was also amazing.
This was so cool! To be honest, my wife and I are not opera people, but we had heard about this experience and gave it a go. So glad we did! One of if not the best thing we did in Rome. it was a quaint small group of about 8 couples. We were well fed, with good drinks and the experience was beautiful, well-done, and even emotional at times. My wife was very pleased with this surprise on our trip and I highly recommend it for couples. Very well done and the right amount of time too!
It was already my second time visiting Roma Opera Omnia, and I can definitely recommend it!! The food is exquisite and of very high quality. But the best thing about this experience are the musicians, with a very unique program delivered with different kinds of opera pieces, in different variations. Thank you so much to Paola, Stefano and their wonderful team!! It really touched our hearts and it was definitely something you don’t experience too often, especially in the heart of Rome :) Grazie mille!!
The Open-Air Opera concert was quite a treat! There were just a few tables, so the group was intimate, and having opera singing so close is really stirring. You are really just a few feet away. The antipasti was tasty and there was unlimited wine. We were lucky with the weather, since the tables are semi-covered. Afterwards we were able to mingle on the rooftop terrace and enjoy the view. Highly recommended!
A beautiful day on the rooftop of a beautiful hotel. The tenor and soprano were talented, the food and wine provided were delightful, and the views were terrific, all combining for an enjoyable experience.
Amazing views and a great experience. Their voices were beautiful and the atmosphere was unparalleled. Would highly recommend to anyone in Rome.
I attended the Roma Opera Omnia Opera and Aperitif at Terrazza Borromini performance on October 13. It was a wonderful experience. The singers were excellent, beautiful voices and great artistry. The pianist was excellent as well. The view of Rome from the terrace was amazing. Overall, it was an enchanting evening.
Beautiful singing on a beautiful evening overlooking Rome A must to experience when in Rome! The setting is quite a peaceful- the performers amazing like they just stepped off the stage. Best arias selected
Fabulous evening with friends. The programme and introductions by Paola were all you needed to feel the passion of the music even if new to opera. rHighly recommend this experience.
A wonderful experience, the views are amazing, Paola and her tenor are both such stars, talented and very welcoming. Always enjoyable. We will return .
Beautiful experience. Singers had wonderful voices. Setting was lovely. If you love opera this one is for you
This is the perfect way to wrap up the day in Rome! This 2 hour rooftop opera right before dinner is simply wonderful and IT’S A MUST! You will get to have a few drinks, eat Italian cold cuts and cheeses, and hear wonderful opera on a comfortable terrace overlooking Rome with the most breathtaking 360 view of the city! It is truly a wonderful experience and we all left very touched and so appreciative..The singers are wonderfully warm and very talented, and so entertaining! This is a MUST DO when visiting Rome.
Not a big opera guy but when in Rome, this was an awesome experience. Not too long just enough time. Was disappointed we weren’t able to stay on the rooftop except for the picture.
Wonderful evening with Paola Alonzi and Francescoantonio Billed singing a selection of arias, accompanied by Tei Kim. The music was superb and evocative situated on a terrace above Piazza Navona. Good for the heart!
This was a wonderful pre-dinner event. The singing touched our hearts and souls in every way possible --we smiled, we got chills, we even had to pull out the Kleenex during one piece to wipe away our tears. The accompanying pianist was excellent too. And we very much appreciated the brief summaries (in English) preceding each piece, explaining the background story of each one. This was classical Roman entertainment par excellence. Thank you, and bravo.
Our first Opera ever, and it was nothing short of amazing! The ambiance was incredible and the wine and tagliatelle were delicious. The opera singers, Paola and Emil are extraordinary singers! They started the program on time and the selection of arias were great. We recognized four of the many songs they performed, but the entire program was fantastic. They even sang extra songs that weren’t included in the program, which we greatly appreciated since we didn’t want the experience to end. After the program was finished, we were ushered upstairs on the 5th floor and had the chance to enjoy the amazing views of the city. Although the views were great, we were highly disappointed that the staff at the rooftop bar wouldn’t allow us to have drinks and aperitivos even though our experience included an hour at the rooftop. The staff we spoke to about ordering drinks was dismissive, and told us we can’t order anything since we didn’t have a reservation. But other people that was in the same group that watched the opera was able to order drinks and food, maybe we weren’t as lucky to have a different staff to wait on us. We decided to just take pictures and enjoy the view, and left the rooftop bar to enjoy our food and drinks elsewhere. Overall, the open opera was amazing! We would definitely come back and see another one, although we will probably skip the rooftop bar/views because of the negative reception there.
Incredible voices singing beautiful opera music. The terrace setting at the Eitch Boromini hotel was beautiful.
We had a great time! The venue was beautiful, and the singers were talented and welcoming. I would highly recommend!
