The Teatro La Fenice is an opera house in Campo San Fantin, Venice. The interior gives a timeless feel with paintings of angels on the ceiling and the candle-like glow of the lights and chandeliers. Music lovers can attend live operas and other melodic performances with world-class acoustics.
The Teatro La Fenice means “the Phoenix”. The name is a nod to how the opera house has been burned down thrice, most recently in 1996, and then “risen from the ashes”. The theatre has 1,000 seats and five levels of balconies consisting of box-shaped sitting areas. There are specific dress codes for the performances here. A black-tie (tuxedo) is to be worn on the Opening Night of the Season, and formal dresses and suits on the other premiere nights. Button-up shirts and jeans are allowed on other evenings. Guided tours are also available if you are more inclined toward history. During the daytime, audio-guided tours are available.
