Can we choose the musical programme?
Yes. The repertoire can be discussed with the orchestra and adapted to the character of the event, within the available musicians and arrangements. A dedicated piece may also be possible, subject to approval.
Can the concert be combined with dinner?
Yes. Dinner at the Casino’s Roof Garden can be arranged as part of an extended evening, subject to availability and the event requirements.
Can all guests enter the gaming rooms?
No. Access is subject to the Casino’s admission requirements. Guests must be over 18, present valid identification and comply with the applicable dress code and entry rules.
Can the theatre accommodate a group of 400 guests?
The stated capacity is up to 400, but the usable capacity depends on the seating configuration, production requirements and event setup. This should be confirmed with the Casino before proposals are issued.
How does this corporate activity support our company’s ESG and sustainability goals?
This corporate hospitality experience directly addresses the social sustainability and cultural heritage pillars of your ESG guidelines. By hiring the Sanremo Symphony Orchestra, a registered regional cultural institution, your event spending directly funds the employment of local professional musicians and supports the survival of classical performance arts. Furthermore, hosting the evening at the historic 1905 Casino Opera Theatre ensures that corporate venue fees directly contribute to the upkeep and restoration of municipal architectural monuments. This structured approach provides your planning team with a clear, auditable way to justify high-end corporate hospitality by transforming event spend into a direct investment in local cultural preservation.
