Music, dance and theatre!

Barcelona boast with many beautiful buildings for musical events!

Entering in the stunning operahouse in Ramblas, Teatre del Liceu, is a performance itself with its atmosphere and beautiful decor! Homestars such as Jose Carreras and Montserrat Caballé has satisfied operalovers from all over the world in this historical venue!

The main concert hall is the Palau de la Música Catalana - one of the most extravagant music venues in the world. The palace was designed by the modernist architect, Domènech i Montaner, as a showcase for the Catalan renaissance and was the main venue for the Orquesta Sinfónica de Barcelona y Nacional de Catalunya until they relocated to L'Auditori. Tickets are usually available until just before the concert starts.

The flamenco is more than often related to Spain, but one shouldnt get mistaken cos this is not the passionate dance of Catalunya. But yes there are some few authentic places to experience real flamenco at its best, far away from the tourist attractions in Ramblas!

If you want to see the dance of Catalunya you can experience this in a relaxed atmosphere every Sunday morning in the square in front of Catedral de la Seu, when locals flock to watch and participate in the local dance - the Sardana!

For those who are looking for something more sophisticated the city's main venue for ballet and contemporary dance is the L'Espai de Dansa I Música de la Generalitat de Catalunya - referred to simply as L'Espai.
