What to expect

You can choose from these different options:

  • Option 1: Entrance only (with your own costume)
  • Option 2: Entrance + standard costume rental
  • Option 3: Entrance + superior costume rental

Inspired by Giuseppe Verdi's opera of the same name, Un Ballo in Maschera recreates the enchanting atmosphere of the masquerade balls of the 17th and 18th centuries.

Step back in time in the magnificent Salone del Ridotto, once at the heart of the Venice Carnival, and spend an elegant evening surrounded by period charm. Listen to Baroque music and learn the basic steps of traditional group dances under the guidance of Dance Masters.

Choose an entrance-only ticket if you already have your costume, or select an option including a Standard or Superior costume rental inspired by 18th- and 19th-century European fashion. Each costume is one of a kind, with Superior designs featuring fine fabrics, embroidery, Venetian pearls and exclusive craftsmanship.

The evening also includes a welcome aperitif followed by a four-course seated dinner with selected regional wines. Vegetarian and meat menu options are available to choose from when booking.
