Follow in the imaginary footsteps of Marco Polo for this fun-filled musical show where East meets West!
Imagine Marco Polo returning to Italy from his travels to China and bringing Chinese musical instruments with him! In this fun, exciting concert, we see the hijinks of a Venetian carnival when the great explorer encounters the best of Chinese and Western musical traditions.
The special interactive show features music by top local musicians, hilarious commedia dell’arte characters from Italy, and a marvellous comic ensemble cast of actors and opulent Venetian carnival costumes.
With its mix of Chinese and Western musical traditions, its blend of music and humour, masks and instruments, this spectacle will be sure to delight all ages. Don’t forget your carnival costume!
