The 2025-2026 Opera and Ballet Season at La Fenice Opera House, consisting of eleven operas, four dance performances and two new Education productions, will, as usual, combine great pages of the repertoire with titles that have long been absent from the Venetian stage, including fascinating rediscoveries and modern works. The program will kick off with “La clemenza di Tito” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, in a new production by Paul Curran and with the musical interpretation of Ivor Bolton.
