As part of the Odesa Days in Venice, an impressive concert was held at the renowned Teatro La Fenice — one of the most prestigious opera houses in the world. This event marked a significant step in cultural diplomacy between Ukraine and Italy, emphasizing the deep connections between the two cities.

On stage, talented musicians from Odesa performed: internationally acclaimed violinist Georgiy Sokolo, pianist Anastasia Melnik, and vocalist Anastasia Bukina. They presented a program that blended classical pieces with modern arrangements. A highlight of the performance was the authentic songs from Odesa. This concert served as an emotional opening to a series of events that will continue in Venice over the next few days.

Odesa's mayor, Gennady Trukhanov, expressed his gratitude to Venice's mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, for his support in organizing the event. Additionally, the program includes the participation of Ukrainian veterans in a prestigious regatta in Venice — a first in history.
