Insider Tip:
​The dazzling extravagance of the Glass Slippers Ball

The Glass Slipper Ball in the Ex-Chiesa Santa Chiara on Murano on 21 February 2020 is a real insider tip. This masquerade carnival ball is visited by a mixed crowd of people, who are familiar with the Carnival Balls in Venice and are looking for a new experience. The 15-minute boat trip from the buoyant Venice over the glistening lagoon to the mystique of glass blower island Murano makes the evening extra special. A fabulous alternative! 

Prices: €110/€320/€557 (see below)
“Oh, it’s a beautiful dress! Did you ever see such a beautiful dress? And look! Glass slippers. Why, it’s like a dream. A wonderful dream come true.”
- Cinderella 

Are you going to win the Glass Slipper?

 The theme of this exclusive Masquerade Ball is based on the fairy-tale of Cinderella, who left her glass slipper when hurrying home at midnight, just before her Golden Carriage turned into a pumpkin. ​The guest with the most inspiring costume wins the Glass Slipper.
Imagine a magical evening of food, wine, music and dancing in beautiful, sometimes extravagant costumes in the Glass Cathedral. The party starts at 19:45 with appetizers on the ground floor. The Gala Dinner  - in the magnificent dining room on the first floor - consists of two courses and dessert. After the Gala Dinner you can dance to modern music and enjoy the drinks from the open bar.  
Like Cinderella, you can leave around midnight and take the boat back to Venice. If you prefer to keep on dancing, we can assure you will not have to travel by pumpkin. The party will go on until 02:00, with boats leaving approximately every hour. ​​But of course you can also book a romantic hotel on Murano.
During the Gala Dinner period costumes are mandatory. Look for example at the ravishing dress artist Katrin Lanfire shows on her Instagram account. After Dinner guests are allowed to dress in elegant evening wear (like black tie or evening gown) with mask. ​​​

You can read more on historical carnival dresses on the webpage of the Grand Ball in Venice.
