Neapolitan Ice Cream: The Musical July 6, 2026
About this Event
Blending soaring soprano, intimate guitar, and lively accordion, Neapolitan Ice Cream: The Musical follows one woman's powerful journey of love, loss, and reinvention — celebrating immigrant heritage through song.
Inspired by the shocking true history of Italian immigrants diverted to Scotland, Caterina's story is both deeply personal and universally familiar.
Told entirely through Caterina's perspective, this intimate three-person jukebox musical weaves beloved Neapolitan songs — including O Sole Mio, Santa Lucia, Core 'Ngrato, and 'O Surdato 'Nnammurato — and iconic operatic arias including Puccini's O Mio Babbino Caro into live narration, where every song deepens the story and draws you further into Caterina's world. Each classic Italian song opens a new emotional chapter, creating a performance that feels part concert, part confession, part cinematic narrative.
Audiences journey from the sun-washed streets of Naples to the storm-tossed Atlantic through the voice of Caterina — a young woman whose courage, longing, and heartbreak resonate across generations.
Starring acclaimed soprano Reilly Bianchi-Nelson, accordionist Michael Bridge, and classical guitarist Tonino Chiodo, Neapolitan Ice Cream: The Musical takes you from heartbreak to hope, and from longing to reinvention.
A full-colour printed program featuring musical selections, lyrics, translations, and cultural notes is included — and the experience culminates with audiences sharing a delicious scoop of Neapolitan ice cream.
