Venice hosts the annual New Year's Eve concert known as the Concerto di Capodanno at La Fenice.
The Teatro La Fenice is Venice's historic opera house, and its New Year's concert is one of Italy's best-known classical holiday broadcasts. The program usually combines orchestral music with opera and choral excerpts, concluding with the Italian national anthem and celebrated selections from Giuseppe Verdi's Nabucco and La traviata.
The concert is associated with both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day performances. Its setting is especially significant because La Fenice has been rebuilt more than once after devastating fires, yet remains a central cultural landmark in Venice.
The event is sometimes confused with Vienna's New Year's Concert because both are internationally broadcast classical concerts. Vienna's event is performed by the Vienna Philharmonic at the Musikverein, while the Concerto di Capodanno takes place at La Fenice in Venice.
