The Great School of St. Theodore is the
sixth among the “Great Schools” of
Venice and has been since 1552; it is
part of a very old tradition. It was
founded as a fraternal school in the
ancient church of St. Theodore, the
first patron saint of the city, which
existed before the primitive church of
St. Mark (829). It became a minor School
in the 1300s and had its altar in the
church of San Salvatore where the Urn of
St. Theodore is still kept today in the
chapel in the apse. The building itself
dates from 1579.
The
famous Orchestra I Musici Veneziani is
composed of the most accomplished
virtuosos who graduated from the
Venetian conservatories and accompanied
by performances by well known opera
singers (sopranos, tenors, baritones...)
coming from all around the world.
The Orchestra I Musici Veneziani
performs its famous Opera Concert with
every musician dressed in XVIII. century
Venice costumes.
