Authentic Venice Style Italian Carnevale Comes To Westchester County
Enjoy an interactive historically driven production of the world famous Venetian masked ball
Therèsa Fernand and her team at Eventures Divine have created an authentic Venice, Italy, style carnival experience like we have never seen in Westchester County, with an Astrological, Magic of the Stars theme. This will not be your typical sit-down dancing performer dinner show. This highly experiential event incorporates the guests, into the whole evening! On Friday, February 24, 2017 from 7:30pm to 12:00am, the charm of historic mansion, The Briarcliff Manor, located at 25 Studio Hill Road, Briarcliff, NY 10510, will provide the perfect setting where adults will be treated to something they have never experienced before in Westchester County.
Guests will be transported back in time, at this interactive, historically driven production of the world famous Venetian masked ball. Guests will truly enjoy this experiential adventure, which engages the five senses; old world through contemporary Italian tastes, beautiful visual arts and musical sounds. A feast will be had as patrons explore traditional favorites like Baccalà, homemade Arancini, Braised Short Ribs with Creamy Polenta, and all of the Arthur Avenue favorites, including, homemade sausage. Of course nothing says Italian carnival more than the homemade fried deliciousness of Zeppole and Crostoli, and of course gelato. All will be welcomed with signature Champagne cocktails upon arrival, and end the evening with the delicious “Signature” Expresso and Cordial Station. Craft Beer, Wine and soft drinks will be available all evening. Artists will draw pictures of the guests, inspired by da Vinci, face and body art and astrological influences will be present throughout the night’s theme. World class entertainment will be had by Asher Laub, whose expertise in trans-genre improvisation have led to a career as a soloist in demand, performing at venues such as Madison Square Garden and Lincoln Center.
“In a time where people are disengaged, bored and out of touch, my vision was to bring a sense of adventure into this new event experience, so I was excited to bring this to Westchester County.” This is an authentic Italian Carnevale experience, not the usual Brazilian styled Mardi Gras that Westchester has been typically accustom to, said Therèsa Fernand. In keeping with the full experience, guests are asked to come in Semi-formal dress and masks are required. Coming in full period costumes that are representative of traditional Venetian inspired carnival is preferred for guests to fully engage in the full experience of the evening. “Carnevale or good-bye meat, has been a European tradition for centuries. Today in Italy there is a continuous representation of theatre, joy and playfulness, all in masks and costumes to celebrate the charm of old world dancing and artistry. I wanted to bring this magical experience here. I felt no one truly experiences surprise, intrigue and entertainment; we all fall into our comforts of the same old routines, knowing exactly what to expect. Dare to do something different! Experience life, I promise, you will not be disappointed.”
