"Baccanali Veneziani" presents music, songs and dance of the XVIII Century atmosphere.

The performance is based on the Baccanali Veneziani, popular songs that bring a playful and joyful character of the Carnival time when they were usually sung.
In the evening we present some songs from the collection 'Baccanali Veneziani' by the famous virtuoso bass player and composer Domenico Dragonetti (1763-1846). Dances refer to the ballroom dance and social dance tradition of the XVIII Century and they include contredances, minuet, country dances and entrée.
