Music to our ears and to you heart!

20. The Gran Teatre del Liceu is the opera house located on La Rambla in Barcelona. The Liceu opened on 4 April 1847.

The auditorium is huge. Rebuilt after the 1994 fire it is a faithful rebuilding of the original auditorium with some improvements. With 2,292 seats it is one of the biggest opera houses in Europe. It is a typical Italian horseshoe-shaped theatre.

In the rebuilding some modern features were introduced. The eight circular paintings in the roof, and the three in the forestage, were all lost in the fire and have been re-created by contemporary artist Perejaume. The stage curtain is a work of the Catalan designer Antonio Miró. 

A new foyer has been built under the main auditorium. It is a room where is the main bar and the restaurant are located and is used also to stage concerts, small format performances, lectures, cultural activities and meetings.

Wonderful operas like Carmen or La Traviata on this season and Otello or La Bohème coming up  the 2015-16 season.
