The Serenissima is an extraordinary architectural masterpiece that can be visited in any season. An unmissable pilgrimage for all art lovers, a stay in Venice is always an enchantment, a blend of history and romance. The Teatro La Fenice is the birthplace of masterpieces such as Verdi's Rigoletto. Opera is not forgotten in the programme, with some great titles.
Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites is one of the greatest masterpieces of the 20th century. The final scene will leave no music lover unmoved. A demanding work, the cast assembled in Venice is a guarantee of great success. Teatro La Fenice is indeed a great living opera house. As an option for those looking for a new experience, a Traviata is performed in the salons of the Palazzo Barbarigo, by candlelight.
To round off your stay, there will be a tribute to Vivaldi, the great Venetian hero, with a top-quality concert in the acoustics of the Chiesa di San Vidal, on the lively Campo di San Stefano. The final highlight of the tour is a dinner in the purest Italian tradition, where a private guide 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’.

Venice secret
Venice secret
Hidden quotes, stolen views, and all the little details that would go unnoticed if our eyes were not accompanied
- a walk in the Sestière de Castello, to discover the ancient Venice of Venice, Venice of the Venetians.
OR
- a walk from the Rialto Bridge to the old Ghetto, the first closed Jewish quarter in Europe, to discover the light and charm of the Sestière di Cannaregio.
Venice, the city of merchants
What would Venice have been without international trade? A fascinating tour of the Rialto, the economic centre of the Serenissima, starting at the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, to slip between the past and present of life in this unique city.
Venice, the city of music
In seventeenth-century Venice, music was everywhere: in theaters, in palaces, even in its four hospitals, charitable institutions where young orphan girls were trained in singing or instruments. True Venetian originality, these ospedali produced famous concerts throughout Europe.
Art in Venice
The Church of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari and Scuola Grande di San Rocco
Two prestigious monuments for three essential painters, in parallel with the evolution of funerary sculpture. From the first Renaissance in the space of Bellini, to Assunta and Pala Pesaro of Titian, and the masterpieces of Tintoretto, for a trip to the heart of the art of Venice.
Daily life of the aristocracy in the 18th century
The XVIII century Museum: Ca 'Rezzonico
The everyday life of an old aristocracy, through paintings, furniture, precious objects: the delightful spectacle of the ballroom and its frescoes in trompe-l'oeil, the brilliance of the skies of the Tiepolo, the memory of the Venice of Canaletto.
