    Not famous as well the Fenice theatre, this "teatro" represented for much time the light theatre in Venice, with representations of comedy and "light" tragedy (but originally was dedicated to the music). Last years, specially after Fenice's fire it was used more with classical operas and concerts.It's very very close to Marco Polo's House. Built in 1677 with the name "Teatro di San Giovanni Grisostomo", new owners built again it in 1834 and thanx to the famous singer Felicita Garcia Malibran they chosed to change the name in Teatro Malibran.

    Another beautiful theatre (only inside) between Rialto's Bridge and St. Mark's Square. This theatre is dedicated to the famous comedy writer Carlo Goldoni who lived and wrote in venetian language. (If you go to the near Campo San Bartolomeo, you will see a monument to him).

    The Teatro la Fenice borned in 1774 with the name of San Benedetto Theatre, but it burned some years later. The construction of the modern theatre, began in June 1790, and by May 1792 the theatre was completed and it was inaugurated on May 16, 1792 with an opera by Giovanni Paisiello entitled I Giochi di Agrigento.
    In December 1836 the theatre was destroyed by fire but it was immediately restored and it opened on the evening of December 26, 1837.
    On 29 January 1996, it was completely destroyed by fire and reconstruction began in earnest in 2001. In 650 days, a team of two hundred plasterers, artists, woodworkers, and other craftsman succeeded in recreating the ambience of the old theatre.
    La Fenice was rebuilt in its original style by architect Aldo Rossi. It reopened on 14 December 2003 with an inaugural concert of Beethoven, Wagner, and Stravinsky. The first opera production was La Traviata in November, 2004.

    If staying in Venice for a few days, I thoroughly recommend that you go to an evening concert in one of the churches. There are usually several on offer, maybe more during the high season.

    I was in Venice the second week of November and we had a choice of 3/4 concerts and we chose MUSICA IN MASCHERA. This concert took place at the Scuola Grande di S Giovanni Engangelista which is located in the S Polo area of Venice.

    The Musicians and singers performed some of the classic opera arias and are dressed in eighteenth century costumes and wear venetian masks.

    The concert is beautiful, enriched by a beautiful soprano and wonderful tenor. I do have a short video of Nessun Dorma, taken on my digital camera which, if you write to me, I would be happy to send to you.

    The concert begins at 9.00pm and lasts for approximately 90 minutes. The cost is 25 or 30 euros (front or back of church).

    Do go if you can.

  • Teatro Italia. Viva Vivaldi - Venice
    Teatro Italia. Viva
    Vivaldi
    by hundwalder
    One of the great theaters of old Venezia. The Byzantine influence on Venezia's architecture is evident here and throughout the city. A cast iron bell hangs over the entrance to remind patrons that a performance was ready to start. The winged lion symbol of San Marco ( St. Mark ) adorns the roof of the theater.

    Many great musical and theatrical productions were staged at Teatro Italia over the past 500 years or so, and they continue to this day. Imagine the many legendary performers who lived in or visited old Venezia who have graced its stage throughout the centuries. As you tour its hallowed interior keep in mind that most of what you see in this great theater is original and not a modern day restoration. I cannot think of any theater in the world that has a more interesting legacy than Teatro Italia. Bravo !

    Just like its mythical name (Phoenix), Venice's most famous theatre, Teatro La Fenice, was destroyed twice by fire and resurrected. The original theatre was built in 1792, but it burnt down in 1836. Only a year later, a new theatre, designed by the brothers Tommaso and Giambattista Meduna, was inaugurated with a performance of Giuseppe Verdi's Ernani. In the ensuing years, la Fenice became one of Europe's most renowned theatres, which saw the premieres of numerous famous opere, such as Verdi's la Traviata. Unfortunately, in 1996, yet another disastrous fire completely destroyed the opera house, except its façade. La Fenice was subsequently rebuilt identically to its 19th century predecessor, and was inaugurated in 2004, suitably with a production of Verdi's la Traviata.

    Music is everywhere in Venice, from the singing gondoliers to random shows on side-streets. In the summer months you'll find musicians playing in little outside alcoves all along the piazza. Don't sit down at the outdoor cafes unless you want to spend a lot of money on drinks, but stand nearby or sit on the side of the fountains and just relax. Day or night, these guys play continuously and beautifully.

    Teatro La Fenice has at last been refurbished after the terrible fire that gutted it. If you are looking for some culture beyond the walking tours of Venice, check out the programmes and if you're lucky you could spend a night at the opera in the classis sense of the word.
    Wonderful alternative to the Venice routine
