Friday, February 13th, La Chic Venise presents “THE COURTESANS OF THE DOGE,” the exclusive masked Carnival Party held in the elegant setting of Palazzetto Pisani.

The famous 18th-century palace overlooking the Grand Canal will host a refined gala dinner featuring opera, live music, and performances.

Bathed in soft lighting, the palace’s noble floor will faithfully recreate the festive and enchanting Venetian Baroque atmosphere.

What are you waiting for? Immerse yourself in the vibrant and wonderful past of one of the world’s most beautiful cities, wearing typical Baroque costumes and traditional masks. Costume rentals are available by reservation.

Let yourself be captivated by the intrigues and misadventures of the Doge of Venice and his courtesans. The performers of the Rialto Ensemble will sing and dance among the tables, delivering a lively, fascinating, and engaging operatic performance like never before.

 

Event Schedule

The dinner, with a carefully crafted menu, will be served on the noble floor; between courses, our artists will perform. After dinner, a lively afterparty will begin, featuring more shows and a DJ set.
