Opera House Liceu

Barcelona's opera house “Gran Teatre del Liceu”, was founded on Las Ramblas in 1847 and has continued over the years to fulfil its role as a culture and arts centre and one of the many symbols of the city. The fire that destroyed the Auditorium and stage on 31^stJanuary 1994 caused a great impact on Catalan society and the Liceu's very existence was called into question. It was decided to rebuild and improve the emblematic building and to create a new legal framework to put it under public ownership. It opened its doors again on 7^thOctober 1999. Nowadays, they offer lots of theaterand opera plays. If you walk nearby, pay attention: you can hear some of the singers rehearsing an operainside the building for the next show.
