Time.news - Put a castle inside Rome, a gourmet dinner, a riot of lights and colors and pieces of opera music: is the recipe for the Dinner Opera Show, the third edition of which was held on Saturday evening with a ‘sold out’ in the Tor Crescenza Castle, not far from Ponte Milvio. A varied team of singers, dancers and acrobats and beautiful models entertained the participants for four hours. First in the internal courtyard of the 11th century residence and then among the tables in the dinner room, the notes of Figaro, Chanson Bohème, Vissi D’Arte, Tace Il Labbro and many others echoed.
“We wanted to create an event that celebrated Italian culture in all its forms and that combined entertainment and haute cuisine in an exclusive setting”, explained the soprano Emmanuelle D’Alterio, creator of the event together with maestro Enrico Stinchelli who conducted the evening together with Sofia Bruscoli. “A multisensory experience, capable of exciting guests not only with the beauty of the music but also through the taste and elegance of the context”.
The ‘recipe’ aims to bring the magic of opera to people and among people together with the refinement of refined dishes. “The main challenge was to create a perfect balance between two such different experiences”Stinchelli underlined, “the visual and sound one of the opera and the gustatory one of the dinner. Every detail from the choice of the repertoire to the duration of the performances was designed to harmonize with the dinner”. Also spotted were the actor Giampaolo Morelli, the former Miss Italy Gloria Bellicchi, Flavia Vento and Adriana Russo. The artists wore dresses by Celli Sposa and Gay Mattiolo while for the jewelery shop the most beautiful creations by D’Avossa Gioielli were displayed in the shop window.
