In Italian, fenice means phoenix, the mythical bird that rises from the ashes
Teatro la Fenice has experienced two devastating fires in its 230+ year history (1836 and 1996)
Expert craftsmen worked to restore decor, furniture, and art after the fires
La Fenice has premiered a number of famous operas, including: Verdi's Rigoletto and La Traviata, Rossini's Tancredi and Sigismondo, Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi, Belisario, and Donizetti's Pia de' Tolomei
Teatro La Fenice doubles as an exhibition space, hosting permanent and temporary displays featuring singers, musicians, and artists
