Thursday, 30 April 2009 14:16
The Gran Teatre del Liceu, which opened in 1848 ranks among the world’s largest opera houses with its 2292 seats. The Liceu, which opened in 1848, has a history marked by tragedy. The opera house was built in Barcelona at the initiative of the association called the Liceu Filharmónico-Dramàtic Barcelonès. A fire broke out in 1861 that devasted the buildings completely. In 1893, the anarchist Santiago Salvador threw a bomb that killed 20 people, whose seats were not occupied again for several years. On 31st January 1994, another fire broke out that totally destroyed the Teatre del Liceu once again. The new liceu eas inaugurated on 11th October 1999 with a performance of Giacomo Puccini’s “Turandot”.
