Welcome to the Church of San Vidal

Experiencing classical music in this acoustically perfect space is a rare and exhilarating delight—and tonight, you have tickets to a show! Speaking of, the concert starts at 9 pm, but you’ll want to arrive 30 minutes prior to give yourself plenty of time to check out the church’s stunning Baroque architecture and find your seat.
Interpreti Veneziani Ensemble
As the lights dim and the music begins, settle in for a delightful journey back to the Baroque period, all thanks to the Interpreti Veneziani ensemble. Antonio Vivaldi, Venice’s very own, will enchant you with his expressive compositions, including the renowned "The Four Seasons." Meanwhile, Bach’s music impresses with its complexity and emotional depth. Can you resist the urge to tap your fingers along to his dancing melodies? And of course, no classical concert is complete without diving into the works by Handel, whose powerful operas spring to life under the vaulted nave of the Church of San Vidal.
The Final Note
As the final notes of the concert linger in the air, take a moment to savor the magical atmosphere. Soon, it’ll be time to leave behind the warm embrace of the church and step out into the fresh evening air. Over the past ninety minutes, you’ve enjoyed a world-class musical experience in one of Venice's most esteemed venues—this will be a night that’s hard to top!
