MINUETTO 1800
Gala Dinner and Ball dedicated to the great music of the 1800s

A masked evening of elegance and entertainment in the magnificent Ridotto Ballroom, a journey through time among the great music of the 1800s, its famous arias and period dances guided by the Dance Masters. A masked ball with a Romantic atmosphere that has been met with great acclaim in past editions.
The event includes a welcome aperitif and a four-course plated dinner featuring fish, with paired regional wines. A vegetarian or meat-based menu option can be selected at the time of booking.

 

Wearing a PERIOD COSTUME is mandatory; costumes can be hired from ATELIER TIEPOLO at a discounted rate for participants in our balls.
Places are limited and entry is guaranteed only upon purchase of a ticket.

 

RIDOTTO BALLROOMS

The Palazzo of the noble Dandolo family was the first place in Venice — and in the world — to host a public gambling venue (the Ridotto) from 1638 to 1774. It was open only during the Venetian Carnival, becoming the beating heart of its long nights. Casanova himself, an avid gambler, was a regular visitor, considering it the perfect setting for his conquests.

Dandolo Palace, Ridotto Main Hall


The palace of the noble Dandolo was the first place to accomodate the "Ridotto", public gaming rooms from 1638 till 1774. It used to be open during Carnival, which lasted several months, and during that time Giacomo Casanova considered the Ridotto as the stage setting and backdrop for his conquests.
