Additional Information

Experience a historical evening filled with emotions and music at the Four Seasons concert at Church of Vivaldi. The performance is staged by I Virtuosi Italiani, one of the leading and busiest ensemble in Italy.
Experience the melodies in their original birthplace.
Antonio Vivaldi served as a violin teacher starting in 1703, later assuming the roles of a concert master and mentor of the Daughters of the Chorus. These young orphan girls, who performed hidden from the public to uphold their anonymity, were infants abandoned in the so-called ‘scafetta’, where newborn orphans were often left by their unknown mothers at the Ospedale della Pieta’.
Vivaldi spent four decades of his life in this church, creating his magnificent pieces, among them the collection of 12 violin concertos known as Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’Invenzione. This collection included his magnum opus, Le Quattro Stagioni.

excellent - excellent. We were in Venice for 3 nights. We also saw the opera which the opera house, La Fenice, was magnificent. If I had to choose between opera and this performance, I would choose this. It is short and very good. All seats would be good. We paid a little extra for the front seats. Glad we did.

Enjoyable Performance - Booked this a few months in advance and happy we booked for this church -- great acoustics and the lights they used to show the transitions between the different seasons helped anchor the performance. It was a packed house! I think we were given great seats because of booking early -- if booking late, it may be worth paying more to sit closer so you can see the expressions of the musicians and feel enveloped in the church. While the first violinist was no Itzhak Perlman, he carried the performance capably. I did notice a few looks between the 2nd & 3rd chair violinists that made me wonder about their competition and selection process and kept the performance even more interesting ^_^ The audience clapped long enough for an encore which the first violinist performed with excellence -- I assess the repeated scores were his favorites. Overall an enjoyable performance in a memorable, historic location.

A concert to remember - This was so moving of a concert that we'll NEVER forget it. Amazing talent by these 7 individuals. The passion for beautiful music that the lead violinist had, we truly felt! Spend the money to sit upfront, we were in the 2nd row center and just lived the performance! If you are in Venice and this is possible when you are there, GO!GO!GO! You will not be disappointed. BTW, no artificial sound, all acoustic! Simply fantastic

Excellent experience - Excellent experience. Lead violin lived the music which came through in his playing. All the musicians were first class. Premier seats well worth the little extra money. You can feel the music
