An event that blends the elegance of opera with the passion and warmth of Neapolitan songs, two apparently distant but extraordinarily complementary musical worlds. “O' Sole Mio: Neapolitan Songs and Great Opera Arias” is a concert that celebrates the timeless beauty of Italian music, performed by an extraordinarily talented couple of singers formed by a soprano and a baritone, accompanied by a piano that expresses all the passion and melody of the most famous compositions. The harmony of the performers will accompany you in a musical dialogue that ranges from the unforgettable classical arias taken from the masterpieces of Rossini, Verdi and other masters of the Italian opera tradition to the most exuberant popular songs of the Neapolitan tradition, creating an experience that tells stories of passion, joy and poignant nostalgia.

Sit inside the orchestra. Vivaldi Immersive is an immersive concert experience on Apple Vision Pro in a small gallery in the heart of Venice, a 12-minute walk from the Rialto Bridge. You take a seat in a ball chair, put on the headset and find yourself in the middle of the ensemble Verità Baroque as they play Vivaldi's Four Seasons. The musicians are close enough to touch, every instrument stays in its place around you thanks to spatial Dolby Atmos sound, and each concerto unfolds in a historically authentic scene of 18th-century Venice, from a palazzo music salon in spring to a canal night with a mysterious fair lady. Nothing is animated or synthesised: every note is played by real musicians. A narration in English, Italian or German, chosen per guest, sets each scene. Sessions start every 30 minutes and last about 25 minutes, seated throughout, with up to 15 guests. No VR experience needed: our team fits the headset and gets you started.
