The Gran Teatre del Liceu (Catalan pronunciation:[ˈɡɾanteˈatɾəðəlliˈsɛw]; English: "Great Theater of the Lyceum"), usually known as El Liceu, is an opera house in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It is in La Rambla, and is the oldest theater in Barcelona still in use as a theater.[1]
Founded in 1837 at another location, El Liceu opened at its current address on 4 April 1847. The theater was rebuilt after fires in 1861 and 1994, and reopened on 20 April 1862 and 7 October 1999. On 7 November 1893, on the opening night of the season, an anarchist threw two bombs into the stalls. About twenty people were killed, and many more were injured.
Between 1847 and 1989, the 2,338-seat Liceu was the largest opera house in Europe by capacity.[2] Since 1994, the Liceu has been owned and managed by a public foundation whose board of trustees represents the Ministry of Culture, the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Provincial Deputation of Barcelona and the City Council of Barcelona. The theater has its own choir (the Cor del Gran Teatre del Liceu), symphonic orchestra (the Orquestra Simfònica del Gran Teatre del Liceu) and college of music, the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu.
