Our Concept
Concept
PALAZZO is a restaurant & a theater. We combine circus, vaudeville, comedy, music and culinary art. We serve a four-course menu that is integrated into a 3 ½ hour show.
The Spiegeltent
Up to 350 guests dine on candlelit tables in an antique wooden tent, decorated with stained glass and red velvet. The auditorium is never completely dark.
Setting & Stage
Intimate setting
There is no clear separation between auditorium and stage. The performers interact with the guests and can experience the audience’s reactions immediately.
Stage
Most acts perform on the center stage because it allows an unlimited view from all seats. There is also a front stage where the band is placed, but the view to it is limited from some seats.
The Show
Music
A band of multiple professional musicians plays live during the dinner sets. They also accompany some of the show acts.
Show concept
There is usually a show theme or story, but not just one act after the other. The artists are present throughout the evening, interacting with guests at the tables or appearing in playful scenes amongst the audience.
Coordination
Timing and coordination with the kitchen and service team is essential for a dinner show – great team work is crucial.
Maxim
We are convinced that different energies and dynamics as well as diversity are essential ingredients for circus shows. Therefore, we are constantly working on creating differing and versatile show concepts to continue to surprise our audiences.

Technical Facts:
Rigging
Rigging points for aerial acts (above the center stage) in 6-7 m height (depending on tent construction). Rigging for pole or wire acts or similar are possible.
