Description:

Discover the majestic architecture and redemptive history of the famous La Fenice Theater. Marvel at the luxurious décor of its interiors and feel the vast musical history that resonates through its auditorium and royal box.

Like the phoenix after which the theater is named, La Fenice Theater “rose from the ashes” after it was completely destroyed by 2 major fires, first in 1836 and again in 1996. Hear about the expensive renovations and how hundreds of plasterers, artists, woodworkers, and craftsman succeeded in recreating the splendid ambiance of the original.

Soak up the magnificent atmosphere as you walk around the elegant auditorium and admire the golden ornaments and luxurious chandeliers—even the ceiling is adorned with sublime paintings.

The opera theater, boasting excellent acoustics, acquired its reputation in the 19th century when it staged world premieres of numerous masterpieces by Rossini, Bellini, and Verdi. Today, with its seating capacity of more than 1,000, the theater is a leading creative venue that houses numerous performances by world-renowned musicians.
