For anyone who is interested, there is a unique Opera experience in Venice: Musica a Palazzo

This condensed opera (La Traviatta) takes place inside three different rooms of a 15th Century Ventian palace along the Grand Canal. Before the performance, guests can wander through the palace and enjoy the works of G.B. Tiepolo, Fontebasso and Mingozzi.

According to the website: "The first act begins in the Portego (central hall) where the spectators are playing the role of the guests of Violetta (Traviata) as she drinks to their health and, together with them, sees Alfredo again. The second act takes place in the Sala Tiepolo (Salon). The drama of Violetta’s illness and death is consummated in the Camera da letto (bedroom with alcove."
