Monday wasn't a concert, but a talk, in Italian, at the Circolo about John Law. He was an economist & founded the Banque Generalie. in Paris.
Tuesday was another concert in the salon Apollinee at La Fenice. This was a pianoforte concert for four hands with a father & daughter playing music of the 20th century. it was wonderful and there were also slides shown of Venice to go with the music.
Wednesday I was back at La Fenice in the main auditorium for a performance of Verdi's opera Stifellio. Not a lot of story or scenery or big choruses, but interesting & well performed. You have to see something other than Traviata!!
Thursday after a day in Treviso I went to a concert for carnevale at scuola Giovanni Evangelista by the French society, more wonderful french music & song.
Here are photos of the scuola & La Fenice.
