Teatro La Fenice: Guided Tour
About this experience
Discover one of the most famous theaters, as well as one of the most beautiful buildings in Venice, during this guided tour. Built in 1792 in Neoclassical style, the building has gone through its trials – in fact, it's been burnt down three times.
Fenice translates to phoenix though, and the theater has certainly risen from the ashes. In the 19th century, the theater staged the world premieres of numerous operas, including Rossini's _Tancredi_, Bellini's _Capuleti e i Montecchi and Beatrice di Tenda_; Donizetti's _Belisario, Pia de' Tolomei_ and _Maria de Rudenz_; and Verdi's _La traviata_.
With a capacity of more than 1,000 people, La Fenice boasts excellent acoustics, a 98-member orchestra and a 66-member chorus. More than 100 performances a year are staged, expertly directed by the greatest conductors from all over the world.
Discover its storied history on a guided tour and be enchanted by the monument's gold and stucco decorations.
