Fodor's Review:
Barcelona's famous opera house on the Rambla runs a full season from September through June combining the Liceu's own chorus, orchestra, and players with first-tier invited soloists from June Anderson to Plácido Domingo or Barcelona's own Montserrat Caballé. In addition, touring dance companies -- ballet, flamenco, and modern dance -- appear here. The downstairs foyer holds early-evening recitals, puppet shows for children on weekends, and occasional analytical discussions. The Espai Liceu café under the opera house includes (along with excellent light fare) a store filled with music-related gifts, instruments, and knickknacks, and a tiny 50-seat theater projecting fragments of operas and a video of the history of the Liceu opera house. Seats can be expensive and hard to get (reserve well in advance), but occasionally a cheap seat or two may become available.
