Venice Trilogy: Murano, Burano & Torcello by Vintage Wooden Boat
Venice Lagoon Trilogy – A Dream in Three Acts Performed aboard a dreamy wooden boat on the shining waters of the Venetian Lagoon, with you as the main character.
Murano: The Fire and the Flame The curtain rises on the island of glass, where ancient furnaces still whisper the secrets of centuries. Watch as masters shape molten beauty into timeless forms. Tradition lives, glowing and fragile. Experience a glassblowing show seated front row in the furnace theater.
Burano: The Song of Color A new scene—bright, whimsical, full of light. Burano welcomes you with a kaleidoscope of houses, each a note in a vibrant melody. Lace makers weave stories, and every corner smiles in color.
Torcello: The Silence of Time The pace slows. Voices fade. Torcello is the ancient soul of the lagoon, where stone speaks and mosaics remember. Among reeds and ruins, you walk through history’s breath—serene, sacred, untouched.
