This was our first trip to Italy and neither of us had ever been to an opera. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting, even if you’re unsure if you like opera. The setting is stunning, intimate and makes you really appreciate the immense talent in front of you. Drinks and food were of course perfection. You won’t regret going.
Dear Kathleen, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure to meet you! We are delighted that your first trip to Italy and your first opera experience were so memorable. It means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the intimate atmosphere, the beauty of the setting, and the talent of our performers. We’re also pleased that you appreciated the food and drinks. Thank you for recommending us to future guests! We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable evening whenever you are in Italy again. Un abbraccio grande Paola and Roma Opera Omnia staff
My daughter and I went together and it was the highlight of our trip! How can you not love people putting their heart and soul into a musical performance. So spectacular and captivating; run don’t walk to this special evening. 🤩

I hope this special evening will remain a beautiful memory for you both❤️ I would be very happy to see you in the future and enjoy your company again!!! Un abbraccio grande Paola and Roma Opera Omnia Team
We decided to try this for my 50th birthday dinner in Rome in May 2026, and it was a fantastic memorable experience! The evening starts at the rooftop bar at Palazzo Pamphilj (La Grande Bellezza / The Great Beauty) with amazing views across the city and down onto Piazza Navona. The performers were a Soprano, a Tenor, and a Pianist; and their performances were intimate and engaging. Between each performance the Master of Ceremonies explained what we would hear next, with context and guidance. The wine and snacks flowed freely, and we had a really great time. It started to rain that evening, but they were prepared and we were moved indoors midway through the program to a space that was already set up and ready for us. We stayed for dinner afterwards which was excellent, with a fun and gracious service staff. We highly recommend this experience, and we will be back again the next time we visit. Ciao!
Dear Scott, Thank you for your lively words and for choosing to celebrate your 50th birthday with us! We are truly honored to have been part of such a special occasion ❤️❤️ We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the performances, the atmosphere, the stunning views over Piazza Navona, and your dinner afterwards. We are especially pleased that, despite the unexpected rain, our team was able to ensure a smooth and memorable evening for you. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us ❤️ Thank you so much! We look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit to Rome. Warm regards, Paola and the Roma Opera Omnia Team
This Opera concert was the most fabulous event I have ever experienced. The venue was absolutely amazing, a roof top overlooking Piazza Navona and all of Rome. The Singers, Jennifer Tomassi and Claudio Rocchi had me in tears in the first minute. Besides being technically excellent, they sang from their hearts. When they sang together, they became one beautiful voice, transporting you to another place and time. (And it holds only 30 people!) Anytime I'm in Roma, I'll plan it around an OMNIA performance. Well done everyone!
Dear Nestor, Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️ I couldn't be happier to hear that you enjoyed your time with us on the Borromini Terrace of Palazzo Pamphilj. Our singers always put everything they've got in the performance, but when in that selected audience there's someone this open to welcome the sentiment in their voices... Well, that's when Opera really becomes magic. Jennifer and Claudio send you all their gratitude... for your tears of emotion then, and for your kindest words now. It was my greatest pleasure to meet you! Beware: I'm taking you at your word and I'll be waiting for you next time you're in Rome for another wonderful afternoon of music (and wine!) 😍🥂 Un grande abbraccio, Paola and Roma Opera Omnia Team
What a beautiful evening spent hearing the beautiful Sporano voice of Paola and Tenor Adriano as well as spectacular Massimiliano on the keys . Spectacular end to our Roman vacation and the setting was idyllic on the rooftop . This was my favorite experience in Rome .
Dear Kate, Thank you dearly for joining us on the Borromini Terrace and for your kind words ❤️ I am delighted to know you loved your time with us, and it was my greatest pleasure to sing for you as a last goodbye to our beautiful City. Adriano and Massimiliano will be so pleased to know our performance resonated with you, and that this experience will be a treasure memory you will bring back home with you. You were the sweetest, and we won't forget about you! Please come visit us again next time you're in Italy 😍 Un abbraccio, Paola and the Roma Opera Omnia Team
As the house is beautifully filled with the shimmering melodies of opera pieces sung by the talented soprano, my mind joyfully transported back to that enchanting evening at the Open-Air Terrace Borromini of Palazzo Pamphilj. There, we were captivated by the outstanding live performance of Paula Alonzi and her Tenor partner, as well as their remarkable piano accompanist Kim. The experience left us feeling mesmerized into the magic of ancient Rome, surrounded by music that truly transpired our stay and made us want to revisit Italy. - Drs. Caine
Dear Lei, I cannot thank you enough for such beautiful words ❤️ It was lovely to meet you and to raise a toast with you on the Borromini Terrace. The tenor Francescantonio and Kim will be just as delighted as I am to know that their performance left such a warm memory! It means a lot to us that the music, the setting, and the atmosphere made you feel the magic of Rome: that's exactly our goal! If you do come to Rome again (and you must!), please know we'll be waiting for you to share another wonderful afternoon of music and wonder 😍 Un abbraccio grande Paola and the Roma Opera Omnia Team
All through a fantastic evening and experience. So beautiful frames and really skilled opera singers, who besides singing fantastic also were present and who really contributed to a wonderful atmosphere.
Thank you so much for joining us on the Borromini Terrace and for writing us such kind words ❤️😍 It was so lovely singing for you, talking to you and raising a toast together. The atmosphere at Palazzo Pamphilj can feel a bit magical, and it's especially when we welcome an audience as dear and as warm as you. I truly hope we'll get to do it again next time you're in Rome! 🥂😊 Un abbraccio Paola and the Roma Opera Omnia Team
A very enjoyable evening overall. The performance featured a talented tenor and soprano, accompanied by a keyboard player. The tenor in particular stood out—he brought a lot of emotion and presence to his pieces. The MC was entertaining and helped keep things moving between performances, adding some light humor throughout the night. They also served a nice aperitivo with wine, cheese, meat, and bread, which added to the experience. There was some construction scaffolding, so the setting felt a bit more indoors than the advertised open-air atmosphere. Not a major issue, but worth noting. They even worked in a bit of an encore, with the MC joking that we were the best audience they’ve ever had—which, of course, we’ll take. Overall, a very good experience and a fun way to spend an evening in Rome.
Dear Steven, Thank you so much for being with us on the Borromini terrace of Palazzo Pamphilj! ❤️ We are so happy to know you enjoyed your time with us. We'll make sure to pass on your kind words to the tenor Francescantonio, while the MC wants you to know he stands by it—you were indeed one of the best audiences we ever had! We completely understand your note about the external scaffolding, and we share your frustration. We were promised it would be removed by March, in time for the summer season to begin, but City started the job late, so here we are... At last, the scaffolding is there for the restoration of the Palazzo Pamphilj's facade, so it is a tedious but necessary part of preserving this beautiful historic setting. Thankfully, by rising above the Terrace's floor level only by 2ft and hidden behind the bannister, it might slightly obstruct the view looking down, but the panorama of the Roman domes and monuments remains unrestricted and as beautiful as ever. It was lovely to have you with us and we really hope we'll get to share another afternoon of wine and music with you next time you're in Rome! 😊 Un abbraccio, Roma Opera Omnia Team
It was a well paced experience, amazing voices , plenty of wine and the food could count as a lite meal. It only lasted about an hour which left time for a walk around the piazza and surrounding area. We choose to sit in the back and we’re glad we did. The voices projected easily but might have been a bit loud in the front table. Lovely old hotel with a rooftop that had a perfect view.
Dear Peggy, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the pacing of the event, the amazing voices, as well as the wine and food. Choosing to sit in the back sounds like a great decision for the perfect balance of sound and comfort. We're happy to know that ending the evening with a stroll around the piazza and taking in the rooftop view made it even more special. We hope to welcome you again soon!!! Un abbraccio grande Paola
The singers presented a wonderful performance and selection of popular arias . The catering as suitable to the event and serving personnel did a great job. All toge
Dear Brigitte, Thank you dearly ❤️ It was wonderful to meet you and to share an afternoon of music and wine on the Borromini Terrace of Palazzo Pamphilj. We'll be waiting for you next time you're in Rome! Un abbraccio, Paola and the Roma Opera Omnia Team
