Fenice Opera House
One of Venice’s historical landmarks, the La Fenice theatre, was built by a company of upper-tier block holders and ex-proprietors of the San Benedetto Theatre. Right from the start, it became the official theatre of the Venetian aristocracy, also reflected in the elegant architectonic perfection of its decorative appearance. Inaugurated in 1792 with the musical drama “I Guochi d'Agrigento” by the famous Giovanni Paisiello; the libretto by Alessandro Pepoli; and the ballet “Amore e Psiche” by Onorato Viganò set to music by Giulio Viganè, the new theatre immediately took on a prominent role in the lagoon city, offering performances of the most prestigious music of the time and become a leading house of serious opera.
With an impressive calendar of operas, ballets and pieces, an evening at the Fenice Opera House is certainly an unforgettable experience. Our concierge can arrange tickets and assist you in the selection, for more information please visit www.teatrolafenice.it
