The Experience
Floating Salon d’Opera™ transforms a privately chartered vessel into an intimate baroque-inspired salon for music, performance, dining, and social ritual.
The vessel is selected according to the size and requirements of the group, while the artistic and hospitality format is designed in advance around the destination, guest profile, creative brief, and preferred rhythm of the evening.
The experience may begin with cocktails or wine accompanied by an optional live trio or quartet before moving into the principal performance. Professional opera artists with state conservatory backgrounds are selected according to the artistic concept, while the repertoire may combine opera, chamber music, and other classical works depending on the brief.
Dining is equally adaptable. The evening may be structured around a seated dinner, courses served between musical moments, or a more fluid aperitivo-style format. The chosen hospitality concept is agreed and planned in advance.
In Istanbul, the Bosphorus and the illuminated city become part of the scenography. In Bodrum, the coastline, Bodrum Castle, and the evening light create a different setting for the same artistic idea.
A bespoke narrative programme booklet is prepared for the experience, introducing the artistic concept, selected repertoire, performers, and the story of the evening.
