Gala Dinner & live entertainment.
The Dogaressa Grand Ball takes place in the piano nobile of Palazzo Ca’ Pesaro Papafava, an authentic XVth century palace with an exclusive water entrance. Gothic windows overlook the alluring Misericordia canal. During the gala dinner, only candlelight and classical music illuminate the ancient rooms, whisking guests back to a time of enchantment.
In homage to the Dogaressa will be performed the most famous arias of the opera “The Elixir of Love” – a warm and inspired masterpiece cherished for its whimsical wit, endearing characters, beautiful arias, and intoxicating duets.
