    Accessible Opera, as though it was in your sitting room, but its a palace in Venice. Stunningly personal. Fun fun fun with 3 light and easy Operas to choose, 7 nights a week. It will make so many people's trip to Venice even more memorable.

    Mostly enjoyable, but overpriced

    The Musica a Palazzo experience comprises two essential elements: 1. the opera and 2. the venue. So I'll comment on both. 1. As a native New Yorker with years of opera-going behind me, including an annual subscription to the Metropolitan Opera, I feel confident in...More

    The setting was superb and the performance also. The venue is difficult to find, a small sign in a dimly lit entry is the only clue. Perhaps a staff member standing outside to direct patrons from the canal side walkway would help. Perhaps a note...More
