Palazetto Bru Zane
CLASSICAL MUSIC
Pleasure palaces don't get more romantic than Palazetto Bru Zane on concert
nights, when exquisite harmonies tickle Sebastiano Ricci angels tumbling across
stucco-frosted ceilings. Multiyear restorations have returned the 1695-97 Casino
Zane's 100-seat music room to its original function, attracting world-class musi-
cians to enjoy its acoustics.

Opera at Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista
OPERA
Drama comes with the scenery when Italian opera favourites - Puccini's
Tosca
,
Verdi's
La Traviata
, Rossini's
Il Barbiere di Seviglia
- are performed in the lavish
hall where Venice's secretive Council of Ten socialised. Stage sets can't compare to
the Scuola: sweep up Mauro Codussi's 15th- century staircase into Giorgio Mas-
sari's 1729 hall, and take your seat amid Giandomenico Tiepolo paintings. (
