Teatri e musica a Venezia<\/h3>\n

Venice has been a city of music since the Renaissance. At St. Mark\u2019s Basilica, the innovative polychoral style \u2014 with choirs singing in alternation from different parts of the church \u2014 amazed European visitors. The basilica was home to great composers such as Claudio Monteverdi and the Gabrieli family, pioneers of what would become the Baroque tradition.<\/p>\n

Nel Settecento, la citt\u00e0 visse una vera e propria febbre dell\u2019opera. Teatri pubblici, palazzi privati e chiese si contendevano i migliori musicisti. Inoltre, in alcune istituzioni religiose, dette Ospedali, si istruivano le orfanelle di talento come musiciste o cantanti. Con il tempo, la fama di questi cori femminili super\u00f2 i confini della citt\u00e0, e la musica divenne un elemento centrale dell\u2019identit\u00e0 e dell\u2019economia di queste istituzioni.<\/p>\n

This tour begins in the small, elegant music room of the Ospedaletto near San Giovanni e Paolo \u2014 normally closed to the public \u2014 which once hosted girls\u2019 choirs performing for the elite of Venetian society.<\/p>\n

Not far away is the church of the Piet\u00e0, where the great Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi worked for many years as a teacher of stringed instruments. The church itself was conceived not only for religious services, but also as a concert venue. We\u2019ll visit the cantorie, the elevated choir galleries usually closed to visitors, from which the young women performed \u2014 spaces that also offer a close-up view of frescoes by Tiepolo.<\/p>\n

Proseguiremo poi verso il celebre Teatro La Fenice<\/strong>. Ricostruito dopo l\u2019incendio del 1996, conserva ancora oggi l'eleganza e l\u2019atmosfera della grande stagione operistica dell\u2019Ottocento che coinvolgeva cittadini di ogni ceto sociale.<\/p>\n

Infine, nella casa di Carlo Goldoni si pu\u00f2 visitare il piccolo ma affascinante museo dedicato alla Commedia dell\u2019Arte. Con solo due sale, offre uno sguardo sul teatro veneziano nel Settecento, tra maschere originali, marionette e scenografie<\/p>\n
