Take your seat at Teatro Goldoni, a Venetian theatre that has hosted performances since 1622. Settle into an ornate box or stalls seat for a play, ballet, or opera in an intimate gilded hall.
Full description
Teatro Goldoni is one of Venice's oldest theatres, dating back to 1622, and stages a varied programme of plays, opera, ballet and family-friendly shows. Its ornate, horseshoe-shaped interior with boxes makes it a favourite for couples celebrating an occasion, and several reviewers describe booking a box for a ballet.
Productions range from classic theatre to acrobatic and musical shows that work even without Italian. Performances usually run around two to three hours, and tickets are best reserved in advance, though last-minute seats are sometimes available.

The Show Must Go On, was an unexpected stop for us, it was a delight! Best though to book tickets in advance. We were last minute and took what we could get. Well worth it.
