Bridgerton-Themed Opening: A Unique Collaboration with Netflix
The collaboration with Netflix for the Gran Ballo di Carnevale con Bridgerton was a unique feature of the 2026 opening . The event coincided with the launch of the series' fourth season and transformed St. Mark's Square into a floral stage with professional dancers wearing 19th-century-inspired costumes . The public was invited to become part of a romantic dream with an 1800s flavor, participating as "bridesmaids and knights" in the choreography . A vertical dance performance on heliospheres added a spectacular visual element . This creative partnership highlighted the blending of modern pop culture with Venetian tradition.
