Queen at the Opera at Centrale Live in Rome

After the two sold out shows at the Atlantico in October last year plus the more recent sold out events in Florence and Bologna, the greatest rock-symphonic show ever – Queen at the Opera –   is coming to the Centrale Live Foro Italico in Rome on 23^rd July.
Part of the Estate Romana 2016 programme, this innovative show, charged with its previous successes, will be on the great stage in the Capital, an actual fusion between a rock band and a symphony orchestra.
Queen at the Opera involves no less than 50 performers onstage, including the well-known Luca Marconi, Roberta Orrù, Jordan Trey and Federica Buda who began in theatre with shows like “Notre Dame de Paris”, “The Voice” and “Roma Opera Musical”. They will be tackling the greatest masterpieces of the famous band comprised of Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor. Special guest is Federico Poggipollini, celebrated guitarist with Ligabue and Litfiba.

They will have the honour and burden of giving new life, through a rock that fuses with classical music, to that whole whirl of music, colour and emotions which is the trademark of the Queen. Timeless classics like We are the Champions, Barcelona, Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, The Show Must Go On, Radio Gaga, A Kind of Magic, Under Pressure, Another One Bites the Dust and many others will be revived in all their overwhelming splendour, thanks to the perfect fusion of a powerful rock band and a real orchestra.
The show Queen at the Opera will be enriched by a Visual show, with the purpose of immersing and actively involving the public in a complete and fulfilling sensorial experience.
Sponsored by the Culture and Performing Arts Office of the Municipality of Rome, this show is considered an “event of great cultural significance and innovation”. For info and tickets www.queenattheopera.com
