Experiencing classical music in this acoustically perfect space is a rare and exhilarating delight—and tonight, you have tickets to a show!

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.

This concert was breathtaking. It was really great, but there was no guide at our meeting point. The instructions did not say that you could enter early so we followed instructions and got poor seats. You can buy these tickets directly through the venue so there was no value add
Must do!
