Comment from Philippa Burne
My interest in in Venice, a beautiful opera house and a famous theater in Europe, began with a book: The City of Falling Angels by John Berendt. In his particular ‘creative non-fiction’ style he tells the true story of when La Fenice burnt down in 1996, bringing to life a tangled web of personalities, politics and history in Venice.
