Step into a Venetian labyrinth of mystery and delight, as we explore the spirit of Giacomo Casanova with an evening of music and performance. Throughout both our mansions, you will get to experience room after room of classical music performances with a naughty and devious twist.
From Le Bal Enchanté to Casanova’s Boudoir Secret, each room presents a different story of history’s favorite playboy. With ballrooms hosted by soprano singers and accompanied by piano and violin, you will feel elevated to a level unfelt since 1758. And what kind of baroque night would be complete without the addition of harpsichord, cello, and lute? Music will absolutely fill the air.
With costumed beauties and mysterious poets wandering our halls, you will be unsure where the performance begins and ends. Private chambers will be reserved at the highest levels of the mansions for those wishing for a more smokey and seductive experience. You may even find a salon filled with succulent delicacies.
When the darkest hour of the night comes, expect the music to become full of energy as our baroque night takes a modern turn for a dance experience that will leave your costumes… A bit sweaty.
This is not a concert, not a party, not a play — it’s all of them at once. A living labyrinth of music, poetry, seduction, and spectacle, where refinement and rebellion collide. One night only, in the heart of Amsterdam, Casanova’s world opens its doors. The rest is up to you.
