A quiet place to visit in Venice without too many people. The theatre has beautiful interiors, and the audio guide explains its history very well. Our visit was less than an hour long, and it was a nice break as you don’t need to walk a lot around the theatre and most of the time you are listening to the audio guide seated.

The building itself is beautiful. There are many beautiful theaters in Italy, so visit at least one if you can. Alternatively, a good way to view the building is to attend a show. This venue is dedicated mainly for Italian opera. Italian opera is world famous. Tickets sold out quickly so advanced reservation is highly recommended. You don't have to purchase tickets from a third-party travel platform, you can purchase directly from Teatro Le Fenice's official website, the advantage is you can see date & show name. This theater rotates/alternates its opera shows. I showed up last minute at the box office 30 minutes before the show started and was very lucky to grab the last remaining ticket, probably it's during the slower tourist season and on a weekday. You don't have to understand Italian to enjoy the show. They have English subtitles projected on the screen on the top of the stage with big fonts, so you can easily see from any seats. Their singing, acting, and custom is world class with excellent quality. NYC's Broadway and London's West End plays and musicals are great. The Italian opera is similar to that and even more. The Italian opera takes it to another level in a sense that they sing all lines throughout the entire show, there is no talking/conversation like pure plays or musicals with a mix of singing and talking. These singing actors and actress are amazing. Imagine how much effort they put in to practicing and preparing to perform their best in front of you? And there is a symphony live playing the music. After attending an Italian opera at Teatro Le Fenice, I felt I saw a wonderful play, musical, opera, plus a symphony orchestra all in one. If you are looking for evening activities while in Venice, attending an opera can be a good option, and you would not go wrong with Teatro Le Fenice. The entire team/staff are helpful and very easy to work with. They did their best to help me locate my seat. They also did the same for others.

The audio tour of Teatro La Fenice was well worth doing despite not being able to go in the auditorium (due to a technical rehearsal for upcoming Tales of Hoffmann and the ballroom (talk being given to Italian students). Actually being able to watch the technical rehearsal from the gilded splendour of the Royal Box was wonderful. I also enjoyed seeing the wooden model of the original theatre, the Maria Callas exhibition and having brunch in the restored room that houses the bar. We booked and paid for our tickets online, before we left UK, but there was no need as in November there are no queues. As we have never managed to be in Venice for any performances at La Fenice this tour was the next best thing and I'm glad to have seen the interior at last.

Wow! What an experience - we visited on a rainy day in Venice. The queue was minimal, less than 10min to queue up. The audio guide is brilliant and everything is well sign posted with plenty of seating so you can take in the atmosphere and listen to the audio guide. There's a nice little cafe on the third floor where you can take a pitstop, overall I would factor in 90mins on your visit

This beautiful opera house has a multitude of box seats, and orchestra seating. I would not recommend a tour of this theater, but if one loves music and can afford the relatively high price of the tickets, this venue can offer a very enjoyable night out. We bought one of the more reasonable tickets in a box above the orchestra for the opera. Thankfully, most of the performance and subtitles were visible from where we sat. The audience was dressed in a variety of ways, some very formal and others very casual. However, the theater glittered with beautiful lighting.

A stunning theatre that has to be seen to be believed. We opted to tour with the electronic guide, you need a credit card or driving licence as a "deposit" for the free handsets. The information is detailed and clear to understand so worth considering. The inside of the theatre is so beautiful and ornate it has to be seen to be believed. Well worth a couple of hours of your time

Attended Don Giovanni in box seats, we were seated in a box section 2, box 12, seats 3 and 4. These were the second row in the box. The seat map showed six seats in the box, but there were only four. We did not have an obstructed view. Note that the second row seats are counter height bar stools that allow you to see over the two people on the rail. Tickets were 165 EUR ea. When choosing seats, the theatre is small, shaped like a horseshoe. Choose seats as close to the base of the horse shoe as possible. Any level, or main floor. Side boxes do have blocked views.
