Opera entertainment in Venice

  1. A

    Musica a Palazzo

    Hang on to your wineglass and brace for impact: in palace salons, the soprano’s high notes might make you fear for your glassware, and thundering baritones reverberate in the base of the spine. The drama unfolds during 1½ hours of selected arias from Verdi to Rossini, progressing from receiving-room overtures to a parlour overlooking the Grand Canal, a Tiepolo-ceilinged dining room and heartbreaking finales in the bedroom.
