from 16 July on all performance nights from 6 p.m. at Piazza Mazzini

The Opera Lounge is the new venue for pre-show encounters with music critics, guests, artists, and and other leading figures of the 2019 Festival.

Guests will be welcomed by Vere Italie with an aperitif and the most typical products from the Marche region.

At the Opera Lounge, a new cocktail will be served: the “Sferisterio”, especially created by Vere Italie, with Ribona brut and a sour cherry puree.

The cocktail adds a special touch to #rossodesiderio at the Opera Lounge, together with the famous Poltrone Frau “Intervista” − the armchair used during the Opera iPad interviews. It was designed by Massimo Vignelli, a well-known designer whose distinguishing feature is his particular use of the colour red.
