Italian term or phrase: una cena-evento di altissimo livello qualitativo e scenografico
This is a themed dinner including theatrical or musical entertainment linked to each course and the exhibition in the art gallery in which it is held. It is trying to work out a way of stressing the 'top quality' aspect of the whole 'event'. Thanks for any help!

a dining event of the finest quality in an elite setting


Explanation:

Asker: Thanks for your answer- much appreciated. I think grand gala would relate more to big groups whereas this event might be more intimate, maybe 8-10 people.
