An immersive exhibition on Apple Vision Pro
Historically authentic scenes performed by Verità Baroque
You sit in the middle of an authentic historical scene in 18th-century Venice and experience the Four Seasons all around you – on Apple Vision Pro, with spatial Dolby Atmos sound. No AI: every musician is real, performed by the award-winning ensemble Verità Baroque.
The project connects cultural heritage with state-of-the-art technology and extends the traditional classical concert. Being this close, inside the music, is a new experience – one that was technically not possible until now.

Four Scenes
4 Seasons
Four immersive scenes, each painting a different world – from a blossoming palazzo garden to a Venetian winter.
Scene I · Primavera
Spring
“Today is a memorable day! My brothers, their families – we will play the Four Seasons for the very first time.”
A Venetian nobleman gathers his family in the music salon. The manuscripts have just arrived from Vivaldi himself. The air is full of excitement, birdsong, and the scent of jasmine drifting in from the garden.
Scene II · Estate
Summer
“How not to love the shade of the park, playing celestial music!”
The family retreats to their Palladian villa. The music shifts – virtuosic scales race between instruments, thunder rumbles in the distance, and the heat of a Venetian afternoon presses in.
Scene III · Autunno
Autumn
“We celebrate the arrival of autumn with wine and music.”
The harvest is in. Guests dance, wine flows, and the noble reflects on Vivaldi's genius – a red-coated priest who translated the joy of the world into music.
Scene IV · Inverno
Winter
“In a distant future, ageless generations will find comfort and joy in these works.”
Venice in winter – fog, ice, the creak of frozen canals. Vivaldi's most technically demanding concerto. Then silence.

The music and projections draw you in so completely that for a while you forget where you are — it felt almost unreal.
