Oper und Konzerte in Rom

On 31 December and 1 January, a special event awaits you in the heart of Rome. I Tre Tenori will recreate the magic of Pavarotti, Carreras and Domingo at Teatro Flaiano, located close to the via del Corso and the Pantheon dating back to the sixteen hundreds. It is a tribute that captures perfectly the phenomenon that swept the world a quarter of a century ago when these three great singers joined forces to sing to audiences from the same stage.

Accompanied by string quartet and piano, Opera e Lirica’s very own trio of tenors will sing the music of Puccini, Verdi, Leoncavallo, Massenet and Mascagni before moving on to Christmas carols and other seasonal melodies. “Adeste fideles” (“O Come, All Ye Faithful” sung in Latin) and the pastorale, “Tu scendi dalle stelle”, are followed by some of the most popular Christmas songs of all time, including James Lord Pierpont’s “Jingle Bells” and Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne’s “Let it snow”.

The festive selection in the second half of the concert opens with “The Blue Danube” by Johann Strauss the Younger and finishes in stirring fashion with a rendition of Johann Strauss the Elder’s “Radetzky March”. Close your eyes at these points in the performance and you will feel as if you have been whisked off to the elegance of the Viennese ballroom.

If you opt for tickets in the Exclusive or VIP price categories, there is one more perk for you apart from enjoying the best seating in the Caravita Church. You will be invited to raise a glass of Italian sparkling wine to toast the New Year in the company of the Three Tenors. As the beautiful and famous tunes are still ringing in your ears, the bubbles in the Italian spumante ascend to the top of your glass like balloons reaching for the sky. The good cheer and laughter bounce from the venue’s golden walls, and so the event comes to a magical close.

Wonderful entertainment with traditional refreshment in a glorious setting. What better way can there be to say goodbye to one year and welcome in the new?
