Barcelona Obertura Spring Festival: Nagano & Thibaudet — L'auditori de Barcelona

About the Event

Delight in the opportunity to hear two of the world's most celebrated musicians together, as Jean‐Yves Thibaudet joins Kent Nagano and the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra at the elegant L'Audtori concert hall, to play Saint‐Saëns' exotic 'Egyptian' Fifth Piano Concerto. Nagano pairs this with two exceptional examples of music for dance from the early 20th Century — Debussy's Jeux and Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps.

Barcelona opens its doors to celebrate its unique artistic and cultural heritage in the annual Barcelona Obertura spring festival. Bringing together the city’s three international stages – the internationally‐renowned opera house Gran Teatre del Liceu, the exquisite art nouveau Palau de la Música Catalana, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and L’Auditori, Barcelona’s modern concert hall, acclaimed for its exceptional acoustic – the festival presents some of the greatest names in classical music, underlining Barcelona’s role as the cultural hub of the Mediterranean
