Of course, Barcelona’s theatres are not as famous as those of Madrid, but they are really considerable. The theatres in Barcelona are active and lively enough and here you can see some great plays of both local and foreign authors.

Here are some of the most interesting and popular of them:

Gran Teatre del Liceu

This amazing theatre is located on Barcelona’s central promenade of Las Ramblas. The theatre was built and established in 1847 from personal funds. It had a very wide program that contained anything you could expect from a theatre in that time. However in 1861, there was a fire in the Gran Teatre del Liceu and almost all of it incurred damage. Both the local government and the inhabitants of the city wanted it to be rebuilt as soon as possible, but unfortunately in 1996 it was once again set on fire, so the new theatre was restored and reopened only in 1999. Today in the Gran Teatre del Liceu the greatest works of the most amazing classical composers such as Verdi, Mozart and Strauss are sung by the best singers of our time. Many singers who are today world famous with their incredible voices once started their work in the Gran Teatre del Liceu.

Palau de la Musica Catalana

Palau de la Musica is a concert hall designed by the famous architect Domenech i Montaner in 1908. It is located in the old town of Barcelona, in the area that is usually called the Gothic quarter. Today it is most famous for its architecture. It is part of the UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites and presumably it is one of the best patterns of modernism architecture in the whole world. However it is also the place for the best concerts and cultural events in Barcelona, so there are two great reasons to visit this magical building.

Other Notable Theatres in Barcelona:

1. Theatres of Lliure, Tivoli and Poliorama. These places have recently become very popular. If you are looking for a good play, you just need to choose one of these places.

2. El Mercat de les Flors which has become a cultural centre in Barcelona and is located in the beautiful old Eixample district and the National Theatre of Catalonia on the Square of Arts. These are places where you will find the widest program of cultural events. Drama, concerts, music, dances and others. These really are the places you should visit if you are looking for some good cultural relaxation because you will certainly find something for your taste and it does not necessarily have to be a classical performance.
