Viva Verdi: Halloween the Italian Way

30 Oct 2008

If you fancy an evening of opera and opulence this Halloween then head to Viva Verdi. The elegant Italian eaterie in Southwark invites you to dress up as your favourite opera star for a night of festivities that includes a performance by Demelza Stafford. And all guests who arrive both ghoulish and glamourous will be offered a complimentary glass of prosecco.

Taking advantage of the modern-theatrical space Viva Verdi’s opera evenings occur both inside and outside the venue where they like to reinterpret the traditions associated with Parma: the love of food and wine, the celebration of life and the operas of Giuseppe Verdi (who lived and worked in Parma) in a stylish setting for the discerning Londoner.

Here you can enjoy the very best food any Italian would expect, with fresh ingredients imported from Parma placed centre stage. Customers wishing to treat themselves to a fine and rare delicacy that is difficult to source in the UK can indulge in the most precious and rare of Italian hams: Culatello, which matures in the foggy air along the Po River, and the salami derived from it – Strolghino – only to be found in a handful of villages in the Parma region.

A selection of varying Italian cheeses are also available including a mouth-watering 24-month seasoned Parmigiano Reggiano, the ever-popular Gorgonzola and delicious Squacquerone. You won’t want to give these treats away this Halloween.
