Arsenale Water Show - Echoes of Olympia
The Darsena Grande at the Arsenale in Venice once again becomes an open-air stage to host “Echoes of Olympia”.
An original production of the Venice Carnival, inspired by the epic history of the Olympic Games, it tells a story of challenge, dreams, and self-determination.
At the heart of the narrative is a fisherman — a simple man who, from the waters of Venice, dreams of the immortality of the Gods. To earn it, he must face five trials: five challenges that span continents, elements, and senses… Guiding him through play, triumphs, and defeats is the voice of Olympia, a muse who becomes both challenge and inner strength.
An epic, evocative tale with magical undertones, weaving the fabric of the game and enchanting the audience with visual arts, spectacular performances, and special effects.
A Total Theatre on water, portraying challenge as a quest and victory as a symbol of universal peace.
Double show with Arsenale Water Show. The performances will take place from Friday, February 6 to Sunday, February 8, 2026, and then from Thursday, February 12 to Tuesday, February 17, 2026, at 6:45 PM and 9:00 PM.
Grandstands and open-air piers with numbered seats are set up along the fondamenta from tesa 94 to tesa 104.

Arsenale di Venezia
The Venetian Arsenal – a symbol of the “Serenissima” Republic power and military prowess, the heart of its naval industry, is today a completely restored area. Pavilions, each with approximately 1,000 sq metres of space, are covered areas characterized by a common external setting that is unique. They adapt themselves well to the execution of public and private events, especially those wanting to be renowned for absolute originality in an incomparable, historical context.
Tese delle Nappe 89-90-91
These are three very large adjoining areas with a total of 3,300 sq metres. They have been fully restored, with a total respect for the original architectural structure, promoting the bright, wide vaults, which are characteristic of the spaces. The “Nappe” are ideal for any kind of event
Tese di S. Cristoforo 92-93-94
The construction of these three awe-inspiring areas with a covered surface of 3,000 sq. metres began in 1525, along the northern wall of the Arsenal, during the development of the “Arsenale Novissimo” from 1473 to 1573. Constructed as “water vaults”, that is, aquatic work-sites at the Tower of Saint Christopher, they, for long, maintained such characteristics, up and until landfilling, begun in 1880. Being adjoining, any type of event can be held in these spaces, which can hold hundreds of people at the same time.
Tese 98-99-100
These are the most recently constructed buildings in the Venetian Arsenal, and they have surface area of 2,000 sq metres.
