Carnival The Show is a success!
Theatre and multimedia technology to tell the story of the city of Venice in English.
Carnival The Show, that takes place just behind Piazza San Marco, in the newly restored Teatro San Gallo, is the coolest way of spending an evening in Venice: live theatre, music and multimedia projections, right after a standing dinner, informal just as the ritual of aperitif in Venice.
All this to tell the story of the city of Venice.
A show that blends theatre, music and food, to tell the story of Venice through an emotional involvement.
Hi-quality surround sound, live narration and eleven hi-definition projectors controlled by specially designed software to manage a visual environment make of this show a wholly immersive experience.
The show is put on stage by a staff of professionals of the entertainment world who belong to Broadway and London’s West End, starring Venetian actors and theatre performers. It begins with the 1913 Carnival to narrate, through flashbacks and visions, the story of the Republic of Venice from its origins onwards.
The task of narrating the history of Venice through its culinary tradition is carried out by one of Italy’s best renown chefs, Alessandro Circiello, whose cooking is described by the Italian newspaper La Repubblica as follows: ”the result of a fine balance between the tradition and the new gastronomic concept, … always respecting the fundamental rules of cooking ethics: subtlety and lightness of content.”
The show is on every day except Sunday and is performed in English, with radio translations in seven languages.

Was a little disappointed with ‘The Show’. It was not as exciting as the adverts would have you believe. The food was certainly not as described in fact apart from the Canapes it was ghastly. Also had to stand up to eat it trying to balance wine glass. There were not enough tables & chairs. The Show itself was just 4 actors and a film projected onto the walls. Some of it was ok but they kept trying to make the audience laugh and it wasn’t really funny. All in all it was grossly overpriced and I wish we hadnt wasted 130 euros. We could have had a splendid meal in a nice restaurant for the same money or 4 beers each in St Marks Square!!
