Alice in WonderLake – Villa Cipressi
ALICE IN WONDERLAKE: THE QUEEN VICTORIA PARTY AT VILLA CIPRESSI, VARENNA
A magical event of music, scenography, and performers for events on Lake Como.
Every year, on July 31st, Villa Cipressi in Varenna transforms for the traditional Queen Victoria Party, one of the most anticipated summer events on Lake Como.
The 2025 edition was themed Alice in WonderLake — a dreamlike journey blending evocative scenography, artistic performances, and performers for events capable of transporting guests into an enchanted world, inspired by Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.
La Bottega della Musica’s contribution
For this special occasion, La Bottega della Musica Event Factory curated every detail related to entertainment, staging, and technical services, creating an immersive experience perfectly aligned with the theme.
From artistic direction to the selection of performers for events, from scenic design to the management of audio and lighting, our team worked with one goal: to transport guests into Alice’s magical world.
Themed entertainment
Guests were welcomed by iconic characters who animated the arrival with theatrical performances and quotes from the film: the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, Alice, the Cards, and the White Rabbit made the entrance unforgettable.
Musically, the atmosphere came alive thanks to a duo of electric cellos performing on a black-and-white chessboard carpet: he wore white with a black cello, she wore black with a white cello — a perfect play of contrasts that matched the event’s aesthetic.
During dinner, guests enjoyed a Dinner Show alternating Italian classics and international hits. The setlist was designed to follow the evening’s flow: an elegant first part followed by an energetic crescendo that led guests to dance. The dance ensemble – representing the Cards, joined by a male dancer for lifts – enriched the show with striking choreography, confirming the quality of our professional performers for events.
The highlight arrived at the end of dinner with a spectacular fire performance: jugglers and fire eaters lit up the scene to the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack, offering guests a unique and unforgettable moment.
Scenic design and décor
To recreate the fairytale atmosphere, La Bottega della Musica designed and produced a scenographic setup rich in creative details:
- Floral arrangements on vintage silver stands, complemented by retro tableware
- Giant flowers evoking the surreal proportions of the story
- Lounge furniture with colorful sofas, poufs, and tables adding a pop and welcoming touch
- A playful Mirror PhotoBooth with themed props, allowing guests to take home an original souvenir of the evening
Technical service
The immersive experience of Alice in WonderLake would not have been complete without a meticulous technical setup.
Our team provided audio services for full sound coverage, ensuring the highest acoustic quality throughout the night, and lighting services to recreate the enchanted atmosphere of the film.
Dynamic light effects accompanied both dinner and dancing, bringing the dance floor to life with colorful, energetic movement.
