Italy series: Opera in Venice

What you’ll find as you walk around Venice, is that there are heaps of signs advertising opera performances.  Now if we hadn’t researched, we probably would have just walked in any theatre we would pass along the way selling tickets for a show.  But before our trip we found this specific opera venue in Trip advisor that was highly recommended – Musica Palazzo.

The performance is held at a Venetian palace where the performers sing inside the rooms of the palace.  What I enjoyed about this particular opera and venue is because the actors are in the room with you and not on stage, you feel like you’re in the scene with them rather than just spectators.

The performance is entirely in Italian, so for 5 euros you can get a copy of the program where there’s a translation of the entire performance.
