Musica a Palazzo

The piano nobile of the palace, with its backdrop of frescoes by Tiepolo and sculptures by Carpoforo Tencalla, is its main performing space.

[1] The performing style follows the 19th-century Italian practice of "Salotto Musicale" (Musical Salon).

[2][3] The program alternates famous operas, such as Verdi's La traviata and Rossini's The Barber of Seville,[4] with Duetti d'amore, a selection of love duets from La bohème, Tosca, Don Giovanni, Rigoletto and other popular operas.

The musicians, a string trio and a piano, have performed in concert halls around the world, including Lincoln Center, Musikverein, La Scala and the Mozarteum.

[6] Although some other artists might be hired on particular occasions, the original "Musica a Palazzo Ensemble" is formed by:
