Event Information:
Every
New Year’s Eve in Venice is
celebrated in San Marco Square by
couples, families, friends and
singles and the party to mark the
passing of into the new year of
will be no different. A message
of Love, tolerance and peace for the
all world. Waiting for the New Year,
San Marco Square will be animated by
a stage which will host music,
dances and fireworks. Celebrate La Festa di San Silvestro and Il
Capodanno Venetian style, enjoying
several courses of fantastic Italian
meal in a local restaurant, drinking
prosecco and joining the masked
throng in St Mark's Square for
midnight, where the bell of St.
Mark's campanile announces the
beginning of a new year.
The
celebration continues through the
night with professional fireworks
display along the waterfront. Add to
all of this the magic of the
traditional New Year's Concert at
the Fenice Theater, the most famous
in Italy. The first part as always
will be orchestral, the second with
soloist participation and choir will
be more mellodramatique and will
conclude like all New Year Concerts
at the Fenice in Venice with the
choir " Va´pensiero" from Nabucco
and the brindisi "Libiam ne´ lieti
calici" from Verdis - La Traviata.
Teatro
La Fenice ("The Phoenix") is an
opera house in Venice, Italy. It is
one of the most famous theatres in
Europe, the site of many famous
operatic premieres. Its name
reflects its role in permitting an
opera company to "rise from the
ashes" despite losing the use of two
theatres (to fire and legal problems
respectively). Since opening and
being named La Fenice, it has burned
and been rebuilt twice more. Piazza
San Marco is the principal public
square of Venice, Italy, where it is
generally known just as "the
Piazza". All other urban spaces in
the city are called "campi"
(fields). The Piazzetta is an
extension of the Piazza towards the
lagoon in its south east corner. The
two spaces together form the social,
religious and political centre of
Venice and are commonly both
considered together. This article
relates to both of them.
