wow!! i went ot a concert on 6 june and fell in love with the beautiful singer in black! she was amazing truly. the whole atmoshpere was electric and i would recommend this concert to anyone!
I was lucky to visit this place! It was an anniversary gift for our relationship - trip in Rome with visiting Doria Pamphilj and I couldn’t have imagined it would be so fascinating 🥹 The stunning palace completely swept me away as soon as I walked in. The concert itself was absolutely breathtaking, and I would love to relive this unforgettable experience!!!
An evening you’ll want to remember forever… The secret apartments of Palazzo Doria Pamphilj opened their doors to offer a truly unique experience - where history, art, and music resonate in perfect harmony. It began with an intimate tour through halls usually hidden from the public eye: frescoes, antique furniture, the very breath of aristocratic Rome… Then, a welcome drink and a deep immersion into the magic of classical music. A special impression was left by the program created by Maestro Aurelio Porfiri - refined, profound, a true embodiment of the Roman musical tradition. And, of course, the voice of the evening - the young soprano Darina Sargsian. Pure, expressive, and deeply moving… In places like this, you feel it more than ever: Rome is not just about landmarks - it’s about emotion, atmosphere, and inspiration. If you’re looking for something more than just walking around the city, this is an experience not to be missed.
I really enjoyed the concert, very good musicians (a praise also for the choice of songs by the Baroque composers). Dreamlike atmosphere, great experience. I recommend it to everyone!
A unique experience in a setting suspended in time. With an international audience, our guide Carla was clear and full of interesting details. A corner of Rome to discover for a truly unique experience
