Full description
Experience Italian Opera in one of the most important Venetian-Gothic style palaces in Venice, Palazzo Barbarigo-Minotto. Within this historical venue, an innovative approach to opera has been conceived, with a formula that focuses on the interaction between the singers, the musicians, and the audience. This gives spectators the feeling of living Opera ‘from the inside’. This sensation is amplified by the clever 360-degree use of the ‘stage’ and by having the guests move through 3 different rooms within the Palazzo, one for each act of the show. The whole setting changes, not just the background. Reviving a tradition dating back to the late 1800s, this reimagining is brought to life by some of the finest lyrical voices, accompanied by a talented small group of strings and a piano: a virtuoso ensemble who performed in some of the most prestigious concert halls in the world.

Virginia (Virginian 10 ) was amazing. She brought the architecture, art and history alive! The tour goes through some of the most amazing sites you could imagine but it is the knowledge of its background that makes it breathe. There was a wide range of people in our group from young children, those with only a serface interest in what they were looking at and done like myself who for many years have read in detail about the Doges' Palace and ST Marks; but what I noticed is that Virginia related to everyone where they were at. There was her commentary which we all got through the head set and then she moved around speaking to individuals and family groups. As an educator myself I know this takes a lot of skill and knowledge of more than just the topic to be able to do this. So thank you Virginia you are awesome; I greatly appreciate the new knowledge and ideas you gave me as priceless take homes.

Great experience! I’ve seen Opera in the theatre but this one has you inside a Palazzo and you move between difference rooms that represent different settings (room, living room, entrance hall). It’s a small production so you get to sit really close to the opera singers who are performing. They also serve white and there’s a balcony with a great view. Would definitely do it again

Certainly a unique way to experience an opera. The reason I could not give it 5 stars was the seating. As the performance moves from room to room, it becomes a mad dash to find a new seat. It was nearly impossible to see the performance from most of the seats that we had.
