The Glass Cathedral Presents:
The Courtesans at Palace: Santa Chiara Glass Slippers Masquerade Ball
III° edition
Friday, February 21st 2020
Great news for 2020!
Double year, bissextile two big dances for the price of one!
"The Glass Slippers" will host "Cortigiane a Palazzo"
A double event, a unique and unrepeatable emotion.
Live a day, from dawn to night, of a Venetian courtesan, who will dance, have fun, love in the midst of a sea of crystals and sensual reflections. The courtesans, charming and lewd women were not only prostitutes, but sometimes women of power, who conditioned the political and economic life of the Serenissima. Veronica Franco, the most famous of the courtesans, collected among her lovers Jacopo Robusti, called Tintoretto and more than one doge whom we will not mention for historical confidentiality.
It will not be a simple party, nor a theater show.
The protagonists will be the guests and only them.
The life of a courtesan in every moment: the awakening, the make-up, the dressing, the market, the dances, the game, the eros. You will gamble at the "Casin dei Nobili", winning new emotions and dancing all together, from the Minuet to the wild dance music after dinner, guided by skilled masters and bewitching handmaids.
No plans, no ladders, only freedom.
Freedom, fun for everyone: "semel in anno licet insanire", was the motto of the Serenissima.
Behind the mask, a nobleman or a farmer can hide. But often deceptions, disguises will go further. Watch out ladies and knights, watch out ...
Michelle Ferrari is the courtesan of this year!
The Venice Carnival is an unforgettable event worth experiencing at least once in a lifetime.
Our masquerade ball will transport you Into A Fairy Tale.
A place without time but filled with Magic, Romance and Desire.
Fantastic colors, costumes and a spectacular glass blowing performance.
Our music will start from the 18th century and finish with an international DJ set.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall which is the fairest Ball of them all?
The Glass Slipper’s Ball will be an unforgettable evening and offers something for everyone, whether you attend our Royal Dinner served on our amazing Ca' Rezzonico noble floor or if you decide to join us for the After Dinner Party.
A journey through the centuries, we will start with classical music from the 17th and 18th centuries and will heat things up in our Furnace with a DJ set keeping you dancing until 3.00 am
