Music in San Marco
Once Venice's dominion over the high seas ended, it discovered the
power of high Cs, hiring as San Marco choirmaster Claudio Monteverdi,
the father of modern opera, and bringing on baroque with Antonio
Vivaldi. Today, MP3s still can't compare to Venice's live-music offerings.
While Teatro La Fenice is the obvious draw for opera lovers, try these
other music destinations to immerse yourself in a Venetian soundtrack.
