Starting from November 2025, the Italian culinary and gastronomic tradition will become part of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, alongside the already recognized Italian Opera. In this prestigious context for the Bel Paese, Tasting Opera aims to promote two pinnacles of Made in Italy, both deeply rooted in our cultural legacy.

Tasting Opera seeks to make accessible and universal a world historically regarded as elite, such as classical music, by organizing events for a broader audience. The high cultural value of opera is paired with fine dining, able to warm everybody's heart: through masterful execution and presentation, these two elements reach all five senses of the guests, offering a unique and captivating experience.

Creating new career opportunities for conservatory graduates is one of Tasting Opera's main goals, aiming to bring to life an innovative and ambitious artistic environment that young musicians can aspire to.

• Expand Tasting Opera's roster of talents, achieving strong recognition in the operatic world through collaborations with singing competitions and festivals.

• Become international ambassadors of Italian excellence through a dialog between Belcanto and gastronomy: two universal languages, that narrate the cultural identity of our Country.

Organizing large-scale events, exporting the Tasting Opera format into strategic markets that deeply value the pinnacles of Made in Italy. From this comes the concrete plan of staging a tour in the United States in 2026, with events designed for audiences of diners and listeners ready to experience a unique fusion of flavors and melodies in celebration of Italian heritage.

Creating engagement and generating new opportunities by involving partners and stakeholders from the hospitality and the food & beverage sectors, who share our cultural and entrepreneurial values, and act as ambassadors of Italian excellence.

Tasting Opera was founded as a benefit corporation with the aim of bridging a gap in the operatic world and showcase young talents, bringing new light to artistic professions that have written the history of Italian culture.

Belcanto and Italian Cuisine become ambassadors of Italian cultural identity, bringing unique and memorable events to prestigious venues around the world.

Tasting Opera operates according to an ESG-compliant ecosystem of values shared with its partners: environmental sustainability, high cultural value, governance based on transparency, ethics and human rights, and social responsibility aimed at inclusiveness.

Tasting Opera stages a unique multisensory experience. The cathartic and liberating power of music intertwines with the pleasure of fine Italian cuisine, creating an explosion of emotions: savor exceptional ingredients and be nourished by symphonies that make the soul resonate, transforming every event into an innovative tribute to Made in Italy.

Our research focuses on the excellence of classical music and Italian cuisine. Discipline, perseverance, talent, and precision: these are the qualities we value in every member of the Tasting Opera team.
