Johann Strauss II, Thomas Martin, and Ruth Martin’s classic operetta masterpiece *A Night in Venice* received a spectacular, grand-scale outdoor visual transformation at the massive Jones Beach Marine Theatre in the summer of 1953 under the management templates of producer Guy Lombardo. Expanding the Venetian ballroom sets across the open lagoon water stage, the high-stepping performance utilized real floating gondolas to deliver the symphonic waltz score to thousands of family theatergoers.
