HISTORIC LEGACY

FOUNDER OPPORTUNITY:
THE ACADEMY OF 1637
Write your name into opera history
Based on the original funding model of 17th-century Venetian opera, the Academy of 1637 offers a singularly historic opportunity to become a modern-day founder of Venice's celebrated Teatro San Cassiano. The Academy of 1637 will be restricted to a limited inner circle of founders and will offer a unique blend of history, legacy and impact for a more sustainable regeneration of Venice.
Let it live again! For Venice, for opera, for us all!
