会場についての情報

In contrast with other European cities, where the monarchy took responsibility for the building and upkeep of opera houses, the Liceu was funded by private shareholders of what would become the Societat del Gran Teatre del Liceu (Great Liceu Theater Society), organized in a similar way to a trading company or society. This is reflected in the building's architecture; for example, there is no royal box.

The auditorium is huge and gorgeous. Rebuilt after the 1994 fire, it is a faithful reproduction of the 1861 auditorium, with some improvements. With its 2,292 seats, the Liceu is one of the biggest opera houses in Europe. It is a typical Italian horseshoe-shaped theatre. Maximum length and width are 33 and 27 m. There is a platea (main floor) and five tiers or balconies. Boxes, with small forerooms, are located in the forestage, in the platea, and in the some of the galleries. However, there are no significant physical divisions among boxes: only a low screen separates one box from another. There are no columns in the theatre (only within the platea). So, the appearance of the galleries are that of a golden horseshoe, without visual interruptions. Another peculiarity is the amphiteatre, located in the first gallery: It is a projecting section of this gallery with a less pronounced horseshoe shape, the three ranks of seats located there are undoubtedly the best in the theatre.

The forestage or proscenium reproduces the original, rebuilt in 1909. It has a big central arch, with two Corinthian columns in either side and, among the columns, four tiers of box parapets, the wider and luxurious boxes in the theatre, called banyeres (literally "bathtubs").

The auditorium ornamentation reproduces that of 1909. It is sumptuous, with the golden and polychromatic plaster moldings typical for 19th century European theatres. The lamps are of brass and glass, all bearing the shape of a drake. The armchairs in the main floor are of wrought iron and red velvet.

Some modern features were introduced during the rebuilding of the theatre. The eight circular paintings in the roof, and the three in the forestage, all lost in the fire, were newly designed by contemporary artist Perejaume. The stage curtain is a work of the Catalan designer Antoni Miró. The new hemispheric lamp in the centre of the roof is actually a platform for technical facilities (lighting, sound and computer).

Other technical facilities include control and projecting cabins in some balconies, a "technical floor" over the roof, and high-tech equipment to record and broadcast performances. With its computerised cameras, the auditorium could function as a real television studio.

The stage facilities are among the most modern. They allow for quick scene changes and performance with up to four different sets simultaneously.

A new foyer was built under the main auditorium. It houses the main bar and the restaurant, and is used to stage concerts, small-format performances, lectures, cultural activities, meetings, etc.
