The theatre is admired for its opulent interior, which includes ornate decorations, plush seating, and exquisite acoustics providing an immersive auditory experience.

The building's exterior is notable for its elegant design and the harmonious integration with its surrounding environment in the Campo San Fantin. Inside, the grand auditorium is adorned with gilded balconies, a magnificent central chandelier, and sumptuous red and gold decorations, creating a regal atmosphere for audiences. La Fenice remains a beacon of the cultural and performing arts scene in Venice, drawing visitors from all over the world.
