Venice is a city that reveals itself slowly, like a story unfolding through centuries of art, cuisine, and music. With TPO.Travel, you are invited to immerse yourself in one of the most delightful Venetian experiences: a perfectly curated evening of traditional cicchetti (Venetian tapas-style dishes) and a grand classical concert at the majestic Scuola Grande di San Teodoro. This experience is a sensory journey that celebrates the soul of Venice through taste and sound.
This isn’t just a dinner or a concert—it’s a voyage into the cultural heartbeat of the city, made seamless and luxurious by TPO.Travel’s commitment to premium hospitality. Whether you’re a romantic couple, a lover of music, or a curious traveler, this intimate event will leave a lasting impression.
Begin with a Taste of Tradition
Your evening begins at one of Venice’s warm and welcoming bàcari—small, authentic wine bars beloved by locals. TPO.Travel selects only the finest establishments that offer a true window into Venetian daily life. Here, guests enjoy a carefully selected variety of cicchetti—bite-sized treats like marinated anchovies, creamed cod on polenta, truffle cheese, prosciutto, and other seasonal delicacies. These snacks are not just food—they are culinary heritage passed down through generations.
You’ll sip on a local ombra (a glass of Venetian wine), perhaps a crisp Prosecco or a robust Amarone, while your knowledgeable host offers insights into each pairing. This is more than a tasting; it is a moment of shared storytelling over the flavors of the lagoon, connecting food to place, history, and identity.
A Journey into the Heart of Baroque Venice
After enjoying the culinary treasures of the bàcaro, your journey continues just a few minutes away at the grand Scuola Grande di San Teodoro. One of the most ornate historical buildings in Venice, this 16th-century scuola was once a brotherhood hall and is now a prestigious concert venue that hosts performances by the renowned ensemble I Musici Veneziani.
As you step inside, you are welcomed by the moretti and the major domo, performers dressed in elaborate period costumes evoking the atmosphere of an 18th-century Venetian celebration. It’s not just a performance—it’s a historic reenactment that pulls you into the Golden Age of Venice.
The Music: I Musici Veneziani in Concert
The musicians of I Musici Veneziani are not only classically trained professionals but dedicated performers who bring the Baroque era back to life with flair and authenticity. Their repertoire typically includes masterpieces by Vivaldi (a Venetian native), Corelli, Handel, and other greats. The ensemble performs in traditional Baroque costumes, adding both visual and historical richness to the experience.
The acoustics of Scuola Grande di San Teodoro, with its wooden panels and marble floors, create an immersive sound environment. Whether it’s a solo violin evoking the serenity of the canals or the full ensemble celebrating the splendor of Venetian culture, the music washes over the audience like a gentle tide.

Why This Experience Stands Out
1. Authentic Gastronomy
You won’t find tourist menus here. Only carefully selected local bàcari serving traditional, handmade Venetian snacks paired with the perfect wine.

The concert is not a routine performance—it’s a vibrant, passionate showcase of Venice’s musical legacy by I Musici Veneziani, whose name is respected across Europe.

The Scuola Grande di San Teodoro is a stunning architectural gem. Attending a concert here means more than just listening to music—it’s a cultural immersion.
4. Seamless Luxury

5. Intimate Atmosphere
With a small group format, this tour is ideal for those seeking deeper connection—to Venice, to music, and to each other.
A Perfect Evening for Discerning Travelers
Whether you’re ending a day of sightseeing or beginning a romantic Venetian night, the Venetian Cicchetti and Concert experience is a graceful crescendo to your journey. You’ll leave not just with photos, but with the flavor of traditional wine still on your lips and the echoes of Vivaldi resonating in your heart.
This TPO.Travel exclusive experience reflects what travel should truly be: immersive, enriching, and unforgettable. If you’re ready to see Venice not just as a place, but as a living story of elegance and emotion, then this evening was made for you.
