Throughout the dinner, opera singer, Natalie Moran Clegg will dazzle the crowd with an exquisite performance from one of the balconies in the Piazza.

Headliner and Naples born and raised singer, Pasquale Esposito, will take the stage for a live performance; inviting guests to dance the night away on the dance floor.
