Overview
Experience the magic of ‘traveling opera’ during a 2-hour operatic performance at the grand Palazzo Barbarigo-Minotto in Venice. Performed by the acclaimed Musica a Palazzo ensemble, this night of opera, song and music features world-class singers and instrumentalists performing as they move, with the audience, through the palazzo’s beautiful salons.
With the singers performing feet away and the lavish rooms providing authentic backdrops, you’ll feel as if you’re part of the opera, not in the audience. Choose from three classic operas to suit your tastes and schedule.

DIRECTIONS
Musica a Palazzo is located near Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, a square on the main walking route connecting Piazza San Marco and the Accademia Bridge. The closest landmark is the Chiesa di Santa Maria del Giglio; on the rear side of the church there is a small bridge leading to Fondamenta Duodo o Barbarigo (there is a yellow sign on the wall).
Cross the bridge and follow the small road to the left along the narrow canal until you find an alley branching to the right. Turn there, under the sign that says Sotoportego Barbarigo. The entrance to Musica a Palazzo is the iron gate at the end of the side alley (n. 2504).
If you prefer to reach us by boat, Musica a Palazzo is close (2 minutes) to the "GIGLIO" stop for the vaporetto (water bus) line 1. Look for the small bridge mentioned above (it's on your left, coming from the Giglio stop).
Please note that Google Maps might give you incorrect directions when searching for our address (San Marco 2504), thus we suggest following the directions given here above.
