fantastic. this is a beautiful opera house. to see a show here is an opportunity you should not miss. I saw 'Accademia musicale di san giorgio' perform music of Hayden and Mendelssohn. it was just fantastic. in another venue i attended an opera which i was not impressed with at all. invest in good seats. the chairs in the boxes... more

I've never been to an opera, but have always wanted to, and wanted to see La Fenice, which I'd read about. So I bought the least expensive ticket (way ahead of my visit; they do sell out) and thought I'd give it a try. My only regret is that I didn't spring for a better seat (next time). It was... more

We visited on a very hot day in July and were completely enthralled to be in a lovely, quiet and air conditioned theatre as beautiful as this. The entry fee was less thank €20 for a family of 4 with audio guide included. If you have ever read "The City of Falling Angels" by John Berendt then this is a... more

We saw a magnificent performance of Charles Gonoud's Romeo et Juliette. The theater itself is also quite a sight to see. Be careful to buy good seats if you attend a performance here, as most 2nd row seats in the side boxes as well as seats very high up offer no view of the stage. more

I was in Venice for Carnival and bought an opera ticket online before I went. The ticket was reasonably priced, (I think I paid around $45 for first row center upper balcony) the process was easy (I did through La Fenice's site directly) and the opera was really amazing. But even at this busiest time of year, I discovered that... more

22 January 2007 I have just returned from Venice. I booked a seat at the opera through Divento ([---]) and the whole experience was great. I can thoroughly recommend this as a way of booking. The website came up with a slightly worrying message when I'd finished the process but I then contacted Divento by phone and they were friendly... more

We enjoyed our opera experience, but we were careful to reserve tickets in the FRONT of the box. There are 4 seats in the small boxes, 2 in front and 2 in back. The rear seats are cheaper but the view is severely compromised, especially if the boxes at the side. Make sure that you will have a good view... more

This is a fairly new thing for the theatre I think. It is a tour around the theatre during the day. They have tours in different languages at different times, and be sure to book in advance as they do get booked up quickly. One day in advance should be fine. You can book at the theatre itself, or you... more

My boyfriend and I bought tickets to an opera when we were in Venice. When we showed up at the theater, it was closed. We went back to the ticket office, and they said it had been moved to another theater! How were we supposed to know? We were unable to reach this other theater in time, and the Teatro... more
