The
Liceu is a lovely opera house, which has been predominently reconstructed
in its old style. Before the performance we looked around in the house
a bit, the Mirror Room in the foyer is very magnificent. My place at the
very end of the so called Amfiteatre turned out to be excellent, not only
because of the good acoustics, but also because of the good view, which
isn’t available on all places in opera houses with this architecture.
Because of my good place I had the
opportunity to do some photos:
On the morning of June 13, in order to get a first overall view from Barcelona we climbed up (we used the elevator) the Columbus Column near the harbour. It was raining. I noticed that it wasn’t so easy at all to buy an umbrella in Barcelona. After we went through the whole department store El Corte Inglés, we found such a rare piece in a little corner on the first floor of the house. The restaurant on the 9 th floor made a second view over the rainy town possible for us. On one of the next days we noticed that the view was even more gorgeous, when it was sunny.
