Cini Foundation
Concerts sponsored by this cultural foundation, located on the island of San Giorgio, are well worth attending, if only to visit the lovely Benedictine monastery, which is normally closed to the public.
2 Best Performing Arts in Venice, Italy
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Venice right now.
Art has been a way of life in Venice for so many centuries that it seems you need only inhale to enjoy it. From mid-June to early November in odd-numbered years, the Biennale dell'Arte attracts a whirlwind of contemporary arts, showcasing several hundred contemporary artists from around the world. During Carnevale, masks and costumes let revelers dance with history. Costumed musicians will entice you to performances in the finest churches, palaces, and scuole grande, but don't ignore the bel canto wafting through the canals or the opera issuing from open windows of conservatory practice halls.
