A wonderful interactive festive concert experience

Venice discovers China as the great adventurer Marco Polo returns to Italy, with a range of Chinese musical instruments gifted by the Emperor. Audiences meet the Venetians Pantalone, Arlecchino and Zazzà in the throes of preparing for the carnival and enjoy Chinese and Western instrument demonstrations by virtuoso musicians.   
 
This interactive concert, a huge hit with family audiences last year, showcases instruments and traditions from both East and West with its beguiling music. The plot is suffused with the spirit of the classic Italian commedia dell’arte, sure to delight children and adults alike. The story about cultural exchange becomes all the more fitting, with 2024 being the 700th anniversary of Marco Polo’s passing. 
 
Put on your mask and prepare to take part in this exciting Venetian Carnival!
