Regata Storica in Venice, a event full of history and charme
07/09/2025
Teatro La Fenice is one of the symbols of Venetian culture, an architectural and musical jewel that presents a world-class opera season every year. The 2026 program promises to be particularly exciting, with three timeless masterpieces: Simon Boccanegra and La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi, and Carmen by Georges Bizet.
Simon Boccanegra: Venice in the Spotlight
Among the operas on the bill, Simon Boccanegra has a special connection with Venice. Set between Genoa and the Mediterranean in the 14th century, the opera was commissioned by La Fenice in 1857. Its dark and intense political and family drama resonates perfectly with the solemnity of the Venetian theater. A choice that blends history, emotion, and identity.
La Traviata: An Icon of Opera
La Traviata, one of Verdi’s most beloved operas, tells the tragic love story of Violetta and Alfredo. Set in Paris, it is not directly linked to Venice but has been staged to great acclaim at La Fenice, where it premiered in 1853. After a challenging debut, it became one of the most performed operas worldwide. The emotional power of its music and the modernity of its story still captivate audiences today.
Carmen: Passion and Rebellion
With Carmen, Bizet’s most famous opera, Teatro La Fenice brings to life the sweeping Spanish passion. Set in Seville, this tale of love, jealousy, and freedom captivates audiences with unforgettable arias and a strong, unconventional female lead. A production that promises high energy and spectacular performances.
A Special Occasion for Hotel Rivamare Guests

After a relaxing day in nature, nothing is more magical than reaching the heart of Venice for a performance at Teatro La Fenice. Guests at Hotel Rivamare can enrich their stay with a unique cultural experience.
