Hi all- it’s been 10 yrs since we’ve been to Venice but one of the most memorable things we did was to attend a Vivaldi concert at a relatively small church. I got the name or link from somewhere on Rick Steves forum- anyone know the name so I can give to a friend traveling there?
Many thanks!

The San Vidal Church does Vivaldi concerts, and it’s located very close to the Accademia Bridge. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the one the RS tours recommend because I’ve seen two different RS tour groups stay at the Hotel Ala which is less than 5 minutes from the church. I attended a concert there and was pleased with their professionalism.

We went to a concert at San Vidal last June. We bought the tickets that day.
We really enjoyed it.

The Chiesa della Pieta on Riva degli Schiavoni is a relatively small church where Vivaldi performed and worked. We went to a wonderful concert there. We bought tickets when we were in Venice, but you can also buy them online.
