Fire therefore plays an important role in the history of La Fenice. The first decisive fire broke out in 1773 and destroyed the major Opera House, the last decisive fire broke out in 1996. As it owed its origin to a fire, it was unceremoniously called „La Fenice“ (The Phoenix - a symbol of rebirth and resurrection). • 4* hotel just outside Venice with excellent train-service to Venice • hotel in Venice centre also available Our packge includes ·3 x nights accommodation at a 4*hotel just outside Venice ·1 x train-ride to the centre of Venice and back ·1 x ticket for a performance at La Fenice Opera House, „Galleria“ or „Loggione“ category Dates and prices in € per person in a twin/double room Sat 09 Apr Sun 10 Apr Tue 12 Apr Sun 17 Apr Fri 13 May Sat 13 May Sun 22 May Sat 28 May Wed01 June Sun 05 June Wed07 Sept Thu 08 Sept Sun 11Sept Tue 13 Sept Wed14 Sept Thu 15 Sept Fri 16 Sept Sat 17 Sept Sun 18 Sept Fri 23 Sept Sun 25 Sept Wed28 Sept Thu 29 Sept Sat 01 Oct Sun 02 Oct LA TRAVIATA.......................
