Very enjoyable, unique experience. Singers were great and ambience was beautiful. We had booked several walking and food tours, museums and monuments, on top of day trips to Pisa and Florence for our total of 5 days in Rome, so it was pretty hectic. This was a nice change of pace to slow down and just take in the city and the music from the rooftops. Also, during part of this experience there was some light rain and wind and we appreciated that they went ahead with the performances anyway.

This experience provided a remarkable stimulation of all senses. The sight of the sunset over the rooftops of this beautiful city, the smell and taste of the lovely food and drink provided satiated or appetite, but most importantly the sound of these most beautiful performers sharing with us us some of the best Arias in opera completed the experience. Thank you,

My mother and I were in Rome for the first time, so we were looking for unique experiences. We found this option, and thought it would be very fun. The weather was a little gloomy, but it didn't matter, as the musical performance was magnificent. The artists, Paola and Francescoantonio, sang 12-15 songs and provided us a great performance. The wine could have been a bit more plentiful (two glasses only), but the performance itself was a very fun time. After the performance, we had the opportunity to meet the artists and tell them how wonderful their show was. If you are looking for something different in the heart of the city, I recommend this show.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Dear Tony,
Thank you for choosing to spend part of your first trip to Rome with us!
It was a pleasure for me to meet you and your mum and sing for you!
You were so so sweet!!!
I'm delighted to hear that, despite the weather, you enjoyed the evening.
Itās wonderful to know that our performance resonated with you both!
Also Francescoantonio wish to say thank you for your kindness.
Meeting our guests after the performance is always a highlight for us, so thank you for your kind words and recommendation!
I hope that your next trip to Rome is soon so that I may enjoy your company again!
Looking forward to meeting you soon!!!

Deandra_B, Oct 2024
This was truly a highlight of our trip! Everything was beautiful: the settting overlooking Piazza Navona, the aperitivo, and most of, the music! Iām a novice when it comes to opera, and my husband and father were skeptical, but we all walked away in a better mood. I especially loved how Paola provided the context for each song, she would explain a little about the opera and scene from which the song occurred, and even though none of us understand much Italian, we could feel the emotion and beauty of the song. My only complaint- it just flew by! This was such lovely, intimate experience- I would book it again!
We had a little glitch with a quick passing shower, and the staff at the venue was quick to pass out little parasols!
Note to Viator, your voucher information is incorrect. The event took place at the hotel.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Dear Deandra,
Thank you so much for your beautiful feedback!
I'm do happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed the evening, especially as opera newcomers.
It means a lot to know that the context I provided helped bring the music to life for you.
It's always my intention to make the experience not just about the music but also about the stories and emotions behind each piece.
Iām sorry about the rain;it was a surprise for us as well!
I must say, singing in the rain was quite a unique and special experience for me too, something Iāll remember for a long time. Iām so happy that despite the weather, you were able to enjoy the evening, and that the emotion of the music resonated with you all.
I hope to welcome you back soon for another special evening!
Look forward to meeting you soon! Un abbraccio grande

We had just arrived in Rome after a long flight. We had a 4:30PM reservation and the Rooftop Bar was walking distance from our hotel, so off we went. What a magical way to spend our first moments in Rome. The view is beyond beautiful, and the elegant presentation of wine and cheese just made everything perfect. We loved the arias sung by two veteran opera stars. Up close and personal. Do not miss this experience. Do it early in your trip. It will set the mood for everything that comes after.
Response from Host, Nov 2023

We kicked our month in Italy off by doing this the night we arrived from the states. So yes were we a bit jet lagged ? Definitely! Was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY! Fantastico . Everyone involved in making this production happen from the start was stellar. If you enjoy beautiful opera in a beautiful setting this is a must experience!

Very pretty setting. Good repertoire, albeit with the setting being so incredibly nice, it feels somewhat short. Beautiful experience overall.
What should be improved are the instructions on how to get there: the entrance to the building is clearly pointed to, but the doorman does not know whether one goes to "Terrazza Borromini", or "The Opera Show" (of which there seems to be another on the ground floor), or "La Grande Bellezza". It would help if what needs to be said to the doorman is made clearer. Recommended nonetheless.

Everything about this experience was fabulous! The rooftop setting is stunning, and we were lucky enough to be there on a beautiful evening. We enjoyed the hors d'oeuvres, wine, and cordial service. As for the artists, they were pros. Not only did they sing beautiful Italian opera, they established a great rapport with the audience in this intimate setting. All the while, the sun was setting in the background. Highly recommend!

This was an incredibly romantic evening! Perfect for a honeymoon.
The view was breathtaking, they gave us a delicious vegetarian option after we asked for one, and the singers were so warm, lively and professional.
My only complaint is that we were seated behind the opera singers, so the whole show we saw their backs and it was a bit awkward because it felt as if we were on stage.
Because of this seating arrangement, the waiters did not come to refill our glasses as they did for the rest of the guests. This was unfortunate as it was really hot!
We could not sit somewhere else because the seating plan was arranged ahead of time.
Michael_S, Jul 2022
Far too sunny. Very inexperienced staff. Plenty of empty shaded seats but crammed us in with others in the warmest section of roof.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Dear Michael,
I'm Paola from Roma Opera Omnia.
I am very sorry but Wednesday 27th July was an exceptionally hot day.
The part of the Rooftop that we use is covered with a structure for the sun but unfortunately it can arrive in some places.
However we do provide our guests with sun umbrellas.
We had assigned you a seat with a beautiful view of Rome and in front of the artists with the sun coming from the side.
If the place was not to your liking, you could have asked: our staff to be moved immediately, as you arrived on the Rooftop long before the start of the concert and we would certainly have found a solution.
Instead you consumed the aperitif and then after half an hour from the start of the concert you decided to leave by saying only then that you did not want to be in the sun.
At that point our staff told you that they would find you a shady accommodation, but you decided to leave anyway.
We do everything possible to offer our guests the best possible experience.
So thank you for your review because so I have the opportunity to tell our guests that we are there to make sure their experience lives up to their expectations, so if something is not to your liking, don't keep it to yourself, let us know immediately !!!
We will try our best to satisfy you
Paola

Se vocĆŖ nĆ£o entender nada de Ć³pera pode atĆ© gostar! Porque os cantores sĆ£o bem desafinados!!! Os drinks estavam bons e a comida razoĆ”vel! Ć o tĆpico āpega turista trouxaā mas ok!! A vista, o ambiente e serviƧo sĆ£o bons!! NĆO RECOMENDO!!!
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your review and for your positive feedback on the location, service, and quality of the aperitif you enjoyed on the prestigious rooftop that hosts our concert.
Given that we are on the only rooftop in central Rome that offers a panoramic view of the entire city, it is possible that some days, like yesterday, are particularly windy.
Our artists are all high-profile professionals who perform in opera houses internationally. As a knowledgeable person, as you claim to be, you will understand that when the wind is particularly strong, even talented singers may have difficulty hearing the piano accompaniment clearly, which does not help at all.
Obviously, this inconvenience does not occur in an opera house, and those like you who wish to enjoy only the music would do well to choose such an environment, for example, the famous Teatro dell'Opera in Rome.
Our event, as stated in all our communications, aims to offer the public an experience where Italian opera is combined with the thrill of the breathtaking view of the city, alongside the enjoyment of good food and excellent wines, as you yourself highlighted.
Lastly, we respect your statement about the tourist trap, but the best response we can offer is 15 years of consistently top-rated activity and the numerous reviews we have received, even from people as knowledgeable as, if not more so than, you.
Sincerely, ROO artistic direction
