EXPERIENCE
A night on the island of Mazzorbo, among the vineyards and vegetable gardens of the northern lagoon, and an evening of cabaret on the mainland. A combination that needs planning: getting back from the theatre at night requires a dedicated transfer.
Avanspettacolo is Venice's cabaret dinner show, founded in 2014 by entrepreneur Mauro Furlan, with choreography by Franco Miseria. On Saturday evenings the doors open at 8 pm: a welcome aperitif in the foyer with Valdobbiadene sparkling wine, then from 9 pm a gala dinner in the Theatre Hall, among Baroque decorations, while singers, musicians, dancers and acrobats take turns on stage in an international variety show.
The menu, with a choice of meat, seafood or vegetarian, follows Venetian and Italian cooking: starters, risotto, a main course and tiramisù, with water and local wines included. The evening lasts about two and a half hours. The theatre is on the mainland, in Marghera, so it is worth arranging the journey back before setting out.
hotel
Venissa is an estate on the island of Mazzorbo, joined to Burano by a wooden bridge, where the walled Dorona vineyard and the lagoon's vegetable gardens have been restored. Restored rooms in the manor house, a home-made breakfast and a quiet atmosphere, far from the crowds of the historic centre.
