There are a few flamenco experts on the board but I would be surprised if there are any worthwhile permanent flamenco shows in Barcelona. There may be specific performers who are appearing in Barcelona, but it is not a Catalan tradition.
Google Casa de Memoria. Not sure if you can call their show authentic but you will see if this is what you are looking for.
Tablao El Cordobés at Ramblas 35 is highly reputed throughout all of Spain. Has got a high standing among the artists themselves. http://www.tablaocordobes.com/historia/
Barcelona/Catalunya is not the hotbed of flamenco. Still, some of the greatest artists come from the area. Carmen Amaya (1913-1963), probably the finest flamenco dancer of all times, grew up in the Somorrostro district close to the Barceloneta beach. Two of the most talked about artists on the current scene also come from the area, the undisputedly most successful flamenco singer at the moment, Miguel Poveda (Badalona), and the brilliant up and coming bailaora Belén López (Tarragona).
The greatetst artists tour Barcelona on a regular basis. Programs are updated here: http://www.deflamenco.com/agenda/events.jsp?barrio=4
