Palazzetto Bru Zane

About

The vocation of the Palazzetto Bru Zane – Centre de musique romantique française is the rediscovery and international promotion of the French musical heritage of the long nineteenth century (1780-1920). Its interests range from chamber music to the orchestral, sacred and operatic repertories, not forgetting the lighter genres characteristic of the ‘esprit français’ of the nineteenth century (chanson, opéra-comique, operetta). The Centre was inaugurated in 2009 and has its headquarters in a Venetian palazzo dating from 1695 which was specially restored for this purpose. It is an emanation of the Fondation Bru. The palazzo (Casino Zane) opens its doors to the public for free guided tours. Every Thursday afternoon, you can admire frescoes of Sebastiano Ricci and Abbondio Stazio’s stuccowork.
