One of the highlights of the orchestra's history was its performance of Giuseppe Verdi's Aida in 1904. The performance was a huge success and helped to establish the orchestra as one of the leading ensembles in Italy. The orchestra continued to perform Verdi's works over the years, including a memorable performance of his Requiem in 1944 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his death. In addition to its performances of Verdi's works, the Orchestra del Teatro dell Opera di Roma has also performed works by other great composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Wagner. The orchestra has also collaborated with some of the most talented soloists in the world, including Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, and Maria Callas.
