Venice Rising

We are especially indebted to the Italian Academy and the Department of Art History and Archaeology, and in particular to our host Professor Holger Klein (Lisa and Bernard Selz Professor of Medieval Art History and Faculty Director, Casa Muraro, Venice) and our moderator Professor Giuseppe Gerbino, (Professor of Historical Musicology), both of the University of Columbia, New York. 

We are deeply grateful to Dame Jane Glover, who once again is giving her valuable time gratis and whose passion for the project to reconstruct the Teatro San Cassiano seemingly has no bounds. A special thanks also goes to our consigliere Professor Ellen Rosand who has made this event possible. 

Organized by Casa Muraro, Columbia’s Center for Venetian Studies, and co-sponsored by the Department of Art History and Archaeology and the Italian Academy of Advanced Studies in America, Venice Rising offers a series of online lectures, interviews, and workshops on Venice’s transformations, past, present and future. 

The Teatro San Cassiano is committed to delivering regeneration, impact and sustainability for Venice. The theatre will be as much about the future as it is the past. By putting Venice and Venetians at the centre of this project, the theatre will offer Venice a sympathetic contribution to a commercially secure and environmentally sustainable future. Both in build and in operation, the Teatro San Cassiano will create new jobs, new businesses, new opportunities, and all driven out of an ethos for a sustainable regeneration of Venice. Its outreach programme will reimagine the meaning of “public opera” in the 21st century.
