Barcelona Attractions
Description
Venue: Gran Teatre del Liceu When: Daily
A beautiful theatre (bar perhaps some parts of its new interior), the Gran Teatre del Liceu was originally constructed in 1847, funded by its Catalonian patrons. It is the most important opera venue in Barcelona and arguably the best to date in Spain.
In January 1994 the building burnt down. Everyone in Barcelona mourned its loss, but the tragedy released funding which may otherwise have been impossible to obtain for restoration and refurbishment. To the joy of much of the city, it reopened in the summer of 1999.
As well as its own opera productions, the Liceu also presents international dance companies, orchestral concerts and recitals.
