Musica a Palazzo is a cultural association of classical musicians who, since 2005, have produced opera performances staged in the Palazzo Barbarigo Minotto, a Venetian Gothic palace facing the Grand Canal. The palace with its backdrop of frescoes by Tiepolo and sculptures by Carpoforo Tencalla, is it the main performing space.[1] The performing style follows the 19th century Italian practice of "Salotto Musicale" (Musical Salon). The operas are performed without a stage, with the audience becoming part of the scene.[2][3]
The program alternates famous operas, such as Verdi's La traviata and Rossini's and The Barber of Seville,[4] with a selection of love duets taken from La boheme, Tosca, Don Giovanni, Rigoletto and others.
The musicians, a string trio and a piano, have performed in concert halls around the world, including Lincoln Center, Musikverein, La Scala and the Mozarteum. This ensemble has staged La traviata at the Royal Pavilion during the 41st Brighton Festival[5] and won the Argus prize for the best production of the festival.
