About
“… because dreaming is an art… and a luxury I give myself!”
Described as ‘one of the ten experiences to be had at least once in a lifetime’ by American broadcaster ABC, the Ballo del Doge® is the highlight of the Venetian Carnival.
Il Ballo del Doge was conceived by the Venetian costume designer and luxury event creator, Antonia Sautter, and takes place on a single night – that of Shrove Saturday – in the dreamlike setting of a splendid Venetian palace. Just like a dream…
Il Ballo del Doge is an exclusive grand gala where pomp, bubbles, costumes, music, art, venetian masks and good food are the main ingredients of a grand soiree skillfully orchestrated by Antonia Sautter – world-famous entrepreneur, stylist and event-planner – who has always been the soul, mind and artistic director of Il Ballo del Doge.
True to itself, yet different and original in the theme proposed at each new edition, Il Ballo del Doge has been defined by the international media in many different ways: sumptuous costume ball, luxurious masked carnival, star-studded gala dinner, sumptuous dance party, unmissable rendezvous and much more…
Il Ballo del Doge is all of the above and more importantly, an artistic production boasting an exclusive cast of over 100 international artists, including musicians, tightrope walkers, contortionists, actors, singers and dancers. The sumptuous costumes designed and made by Antonia Sautter for her cast, as well as the marvelous sets and refined mise en place with floral decorations studied down to the smallest detail, are just some of the emotions guests experience.
Since 1994, Antonia Sautter has produced each edition of Il Ballo del Doge capturing the spirit of the times, without forgetting, indeed enhancing, the great tradition of the Venetian Carnival.
