About Venice

Venice after dark has a theatricality no other city can match, and its most refined evenings unfold in churches, palaces and candlelit halls rather than ordinary theatres. Music lovers can settle into the Interpreti Veneziani Concert at the Church of San Vidal, a long-running Vivaldi programme in a former oratory, while those drawn to grand settings should consider the Venice: Traveling Opera in a Historic Palace on the Grand Canal, where performance and architecture share the stage.

The after-hours Saint Mark's Basilica tour is the clearest example of privileged access, since the basilica is otherwise closed to the public at that time.
