GENERAL REHEARSALS
Interested in attending the final rehearsals of the operas at La Fenice and Teatro Malibran?
Become a member of the Friends of La Fenice and unlock this exclusive opportunity.
Typically, final rehearsals and ensemble practices are off-limits to the public, reserved solely for theater personnel. However, with conductor approval, these sessions may open up to a broader audience, including staff relatives and selected groups. As part of the latter, Amici della Fenice members enjoy reserved seating for these events.
Members in good standing can reserve their spots by calling 041 5227737, Monday to Thursday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, until seats are filled.
To ensure fair access, each member can only sign up for one opera in a row.
Attendance at rehearsals is subject to the conductor’s decision a few days prior. Therefore, two or three days before the scheduled date, registered members should call to confirm their attendance.
Once the rehearsal is confirmed, the list of registered members will be available at the theater box office. Members must present their Foundation membership card when purchasing their ticket.
