    We had never been to an opera and I figured if we were gonna go, it was going to be in Italy. Musica a Palazzo was wonderful about emailing with us to set up the reservation and letting us know what we needed to be prepared ahead of time. The opera was a highlight of our trip abroad! The talent was wonderful and the interaction with the audience fun and engaging. We had a great time and the facility was beautiful! Highly recommend spending an evening in Venice taking advantage of this.

    Music and Venice have historically gone hand in hand. Having been remiss in not making prior plans for the famous Teatro La Fenice, we were extremely blessed to get tickets for a baroque opera concert program dedicated to Vivaldi. The concert was performed in the Main Hall of the Scuola Grande di San Teodoro. This beautiful example of 16th century baroque architecture was converted into a concert hall and a nice setting for the opera performance. All the singers were completely costumed in period attire and provided us a step back in time. We understand that the Scuola Grande di San Teodoro is the best baroque opera and concert hall in Venice.

    San Basso is a Baroque style deconsecrated Roman Catholic church in St Marks Square and now serves as a concert hall.
    According to the Venetian historian Flaminio Corner, the church was erected in the year 1079. It was rebuilt after fires in 1105 and again in 1661, the latter to a design by Baldassarre Longhena.
    I had originally wished to see Virtuosi di Venezia play here but unfortunately they were not playing at this venue when we visited.

    It was once the home of Marco Polo. Can see tour guides on walking tours bring their entourage to view the place. Once the famous singer, Malibran, sang the La Sonnambula here and the theatre had taken her name. It is stated that she was appalled at the condition of the theatre that she refused her singing fee, instead telling the management to use the fee for the theatre.

    The Venice Panto has returned with well-known panto names plus some new talents. It is in English but with some Italian songs by the children and a Venetian scene.

    Jack is in love with Jill, her father the Squire does not approve, Dotty Trott (Jack's mum) is behind with the rent, Nabitt the baliff demands cash, the cow Violet is sold to wicked Basil Bloodchill, who takes her to the terrible Norman Ogre who lives above the earth, his wife Mavis is not terrible, the fairy saves the day with magic beans and it is all reported on by Hunter the journalist at the News at Seven. After all this they all live happily ever after. It is all written and directed by the author Laurie Graham.

    On only 17/1/14 at 19.30 or 18/1/14 at 15.30. Tickets may be sold out, but try 515.0212.
    All proceeds to La Gabbianella, a charity for kids of female prisoners at the lady's prison in Venice.

    Part of the Fondazione Cini complex on San Giorgio Maggiore, the Auditorium Lo Squero offered an evening with the Quartetto di Venezia and their selection of Brahms.
    The performance was spellbinding. The musical choices seemed to perfectly match the ebb and flow of the ever-changing boat scene seen through the glass.
    A perfect fit for the concert hall.
    The venue is a recent conversion of a much older boatyard, and has an entire wall of glass backing the stage. It offers a dramatic view of the Bacino San Marco, the Riva, and the Giardini Pubblici.
    Absolutely worth a visit. Combine it with a trip to San Giorgio and an evening on the Giudecca.
