Avanspettacolo Theatre Restaurant
Avanspettacolo Venezia was founded in 2014 from the idea of the Italian entrepreneur Mauro Furlan.
Since always passionate about art and travel, Mauro visits and admires the most internationally renowned cabarets, a meeting place for local people, and tourist attractions for travellers from all over the world.
Thus emerges the desire to gift Venice, one of the most famous international tourist destination, with its first cabaret, combining art, entertainment and tradition in a unique one-of-a-kind proposal.
Although Avanspettacolo Venezia is still young, the level of its proposal, both from an artistic and culinary point of view, is extraordinary and Avanspettacolo has now become a point of reference for both local and international guests.
