La Fenice "the phoenix" earned its name three times over: it burned down in 1774, in 1836 and again in 1996, and each time Venice rebuilt it exactly as it was. In one hour, with entrance included and a guide who knows the building, you walk into the gold-and-red horseshoe auditorium where Rossini, Bellini, Verdi and Stravinsky premiered works, see the royal box and the Apollonee rooms, and hear how an opera house survives a city built on water. Most visitors to Venice walk past the door without ever going in.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet the assistant in Campo San Fantin, right in front of the main entrance of Teatro La Fenice. Please arrive a few minutes early. The commentary takes place inside the theatre, not on the way to it.
