THE DRESS CODE

The Teatro Massimo is your stage.

Velvet, silk, satin, crystal, opera coats, impeccable tailoring or sweeping gowns. Dress as though you belong in the film, not just the audience.

You won’t be overdressed. If anything, that’s the point. You’ll be surrounded by regular opera-goers, and that’s precisely what makes the evening so memorable.

We’ll be attending Rigoletto at the Teatro Massimo.

Although Palermo’s streets are paved with stone, transportation will be provided directly from the Teatro Massimo to Palazzo Conte Federico. Feel free to wear heels. We’ll take care of the rest.

Approximate running time: 2 hours 40 minutes

Italian Black Tie.

Fluid silks, sharp tailoring, sculptural silhouettes and rich textures. Classic elegance, interpreted with personality.

Don’t hesitate to introduce a subtle touch of Orientalism through a jewel, an embroidered detail, a fabric or a silhouette.

Palermo has always stood at the crossroads of East and West. We love that spirit reflected in the way our guests dress.
