Orchestra Del Teatro Fenice Di Venezia

The Orchestra del Teatro La Fenice di Venezia serves as the house band for Venice's iconic La Fenice Opera House, one of Italy's most storied cultural landmarks. Founded alongside the theater in the late 18th century (though the orchestra’s modern iteration evolved over time), they’re best known for breathing life into opera classics, like Rossini’s *Il barbiere di Siviglia* and Donizetti’s *Don Pasquale* — both featured in their recent releases. But they’re not just an opera pit crew; their repertoire flexes into symphonic works too, from Mahler’s sweeping *Titan* symphony to Mussorgsky’s vivid *Pictures at an Exhibition*. The group often spotlights Italian composers, as seen in their live recording of Bruno Maderna’s *Requiem*, while also championing newer voices like Swedish composer Sven-David Sandström’s *Intrada*. Whether performing fiery live operas or intricate concert pieces, they carry forward Venice’s musical legacy with a mix of tradition and curiosity.
