Timeless Venice, the city of music par excellence, where great composers have lived (Monteverdi, Vivaldi...) and where its splendors have inspired many others (Handel, Gluck, Puccini). The sumptuous Teatro La Fenice alone is well worth the trip, with its New Year's gala an institution in its own right. This year, it will be directed by Michele Mariotti, with two superb artists, the soprano Rosa Feola and the star tenor, the admirable Jonathan Tetelman. But the exclusive dive into classical music doesn't stop there. Another evening features a performance of Il Barbiere di Siviglia at Palazzo Barbarigo Minotto in the palace's various rooms, lit by candlelight in a spirit worthy of Caravaggio.
With a traditional Venetian dinner, the final highlight of the tour is a private guide who will take you on a discovery tour of the lakeside city on a theme of your choice: “Unusual Venice”, “Music in 17th- and 18th-century Venice”, “Art in Venice” or “Daily life of the aristocracy in the 18th century”.
