Musica A Palazzo
Climb the stairs to this noble mansion (Palazzo Barbarigo-Minotto) on the Grand Canal and take up a seat in the salon--and later the master bedroom for operatic duos and delicious excerpts of light classical music. On some evenings there's La Traviata , moving from one room to another. Rarely can one experience opera in so intimate a fashion, let alone in a grand Venetian mansion laden with stucco and original frescoes by Giambattista Tiepolo.

Teatro Goldoni

Teatro La Fenice
The grand opera theatre of Venice is back in action, providing an experience music lovers will not want to miss. First-night spots can cost several thousand euros. First raised in 1792 and rebuilt after fires in 1854 and again in 2003, it is one of the world's great opera stages.
Some of the operas are staged at the charming 17th-century Teatro Malibran (Calle del Teatro, Cannaregio 5870; tickets around €10 -95), with a capacity of 900, instead.

Teatro Toniolo
This busy forum in Mestre, in business since 1912 (and renovated in 2004), runs programmes ranging from Shakespeare to local drama, occasionally in dialect. Concert cycles and children's theatre are also a feature.
