Players: 2 | Time: 45 mins | Ages: 14+

In The Battle of the Divas, players take on the roles of Maria Callas and Renata Tebaldi in their fight for operatic supremacy. Throughout the game, each diva will perform great operas, gain fame, and experience key moments of their career in a timeline that will shape their legacy. The objective is to earn more points than your rival, which can be achieved through different strategies:

• Performing iconic operas in the most prestigious theaters.
• Skillfully managing diva cards, which include historical events, special abilities, and key career moments.
• Mastering the piano and expanding your vocal range, which is essential for unlocking new musical opportunities.
• Managing influence over the orchestra and fame in theaters, which allows for timeline adjustments and decisive advantages.

The game ends when five operas have been performed. At that point, players add up the points earned from theaters, the orchestra, the piano, and the timeline to determine who has left the most indelible mark on opera history. Will Callas' overwhelming charisma or Tebaldi's vocal perfection claim the ultimate glory? Only the stage will decide.

Palco Reale expands on The Battle of the Divas by intensifying the duel and pushing the drama up a notch or two. While the legendary rivalry between Callas and Tebaldi reaches fever pitch on stage, all eyes turn to the private boxes. The procession of celebrities, aristocrats and jet-setters turns each performance into a show within a show.

In Palco Reale you will not only perform for the audience; you must also keep in mind that in the Royal Box are some of the most influential people of the twentieth century. Each of them has their own tastes and whims, so satisfying their expectations will be crucial for promoting your artistic vision to the world. The spotlight is on you. Can you live up to it?
