Insider Tip:
The dazzling extravagance of the Glass Slipper Ball
|
The Glass Slipper Ball in the Ex-Chiesa Santa Chiara on Murano on 13 February 2026 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!
Price: €848. |
“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.” |
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.
From 7:00 PM to 3:00 AM, the evening unfolds as a sequence of immersive moments. Guests are welcomed with an aperitif, accompanied by live performances that set the tone for the night.
A refined gala dinner follows, featuring a six-course menu created by Michelin-starred chef Graziano Prest, served in the majestic Rezzonico Hall and enhanced by carefully curated shows throughout the evening.
One of the night’s highlights is a live demonstration by master glassblowers in the on-site furnace, where the iconic “Glass Slipper” is created before your eyes. This is followed by an award ceremony honoring the wearer of most spectacular costume, who receives the slipper.
The party will go on until 03:00, with boats leaving approximately every hour. But of course you can also book a romantic hotel on Murano.
