In the heart of historical Venice this astonishing show is the entertaining way to discover some of the history, tradition and background to this beautiful city. The chance to sit back and immerse yourself in the story of the city as the cast of live performers combine with the projections on the ceiling and walls around you, that in a unique way to brings to life the fascinating history and the amusing events of this city’s glorious and often scandalous past. VENEZIA is an original, dynamic and entertaining experience which will add to your understanding of this Great City and we hope entertain along the way. The theatre has a bar open before the show.

“Delightful surprise!”

Reviewed 21 May 2012 NEW

I wasn't expecting much but loved the idea of something being in English. It was delightful. The little theatre was charming. Learned a lot about Venice's history, and the actors were excellent. You could see that they truly loved performing and loved their jobs! Everything about this production was excellent and it allowed us to really enjoy our first evening... More

“Fantastic!”

Reviewed 8 May 2012

The show is so much fun I want to go again. It was very informative, covering a bit about everything I've always wanted to know and doing it with style. The price was quite reasonable, especially considering all you get, and the gift shop has a lot of what I've been looking for and couldn't easily find. Everything about the... More

“Enjoyable show - lovely theatre!”

Reviewed 5 April 2012

I'd not been to Teatro San Gallo before, and think this is a lovely little theatre! I really enjoyed this show, excellent performances from all, witty and informative about Venice's history. I also really enjoyed the technical aspect of the show. Staff were very helpful, and the prices at the bar very reasonable. I have an Imob card, so was... More

“Really impressive - clever and fun”

Well we went to the play since there was a flyer in our hotel and we found it wandering around. We all really enjoyed the play (mom, grandma, 2 teens and 8yr). It's more historical than we thought, but the effects and acting made it fun to watch. Nice small theater, and we left feeling excited to explore. It's also... More

“Good for families with children but much too pricey”

Reviewed 27 February 2012

Came across this show after seeing an advertising poster; looked it up on TA and decided to check it out for myself. The script style is not to my liking: I thought the humour was too naive and predictable but probably fine for children. The acting and information was good and interesting respectively. For €39 I would have offered the... More

We do take notice of things that experienced travellers have to say and know that to some our ticket price may seem a little high. In the response to a previous reviewer I did explain a little of the cost issues we face. I can say however that we do make some very good offers available. We have our dinner... More

“Ignore the criticism, make sure you see the show.”

Reviewed 26 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Venice is expensive, agreed, and so 39 Euros is quite high but no more so than anything else you may go to see. The big benefit is it puts everything into context in the history of Venice. If you are there and have any interest in the background of who and what has gone before you should go to see... More

“I loved it!”

Reviewed 7 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I stumbled upon this show by seeing the ads on the vaporetto. It took me awhile to find the theater, but I was glad I did. There is a nice bookshop/ gift shop, and they had a free display of Carnivale masks with interesting information. A small bar was open before the show serving Bellinis - SO good. The show... More

I saw this show in January and really enjoyed it for so many reasons. It really brought the history of the city alive for me in a fun and informative way.

“What a surprise!”

Reviewed 27 January 2012

We decided (which means my wife) to see the show. The printer was not working so after waiting 10 minutes and returning 30 minutes later we had tickets. Once inside the decor is decent for being a warehouse but the acting crew is from England! It's like having a WW II show that has Mexicans playing the Germans, no offense... More

We are of course sorry that any customer suffers any inconvenience , unfortunately occasionally ticket printers do sometimes have a technical problem. We do take it as a compliment that this reviewer mistook our whole 'crew' for English. We do work hard to make the English spoken at the theatre as good as possible. In fact the only English personnel... More
