Theaters Province Of Barcelona

Designed down to the last detail and surrounded by greenery, the Teatre Grec was built in 1929 on the model of Epidaurus, for the Barcelona International Exposition. Set in the old quarry of Montjuïc, whose rocky walls form the backdrop to the stage, this classic amphitheater is a perfect option for enjoying outdoor theater. It opens its doors only in July to host the Greek Festival performances. Dance, music, theater and circus make up the bulk of its excellent program.

Created in 1976 in the district of Gràcia, then in 2001 on the hill of Montjuïc, the Teatre Lliure is an independent creative space, which privileges contemporary texts and performances in Catalan. The headquarters of Montjuïc occupies the former Palace of Agriculture, built for the 1929 International Exhibition. In 2010, the headquarters of Gràcia (Carrer del Montseny, 47) reopens after several years of closure. This "free theatre", with its quality programming, is considered one of the most prestigious in Spain.

Founded in 1989 in the Gràcia district, this contemporary theater regularly presents works by Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, Tom Stoppard or Sergi Belbel. The performances are usually in Catalan. The Sala Beckett moved in 2011 to the Poblenou district to occupy the headquarters of the former cooperative Pau i Justicia. This beautiful industrial building, very well renovated by Flores & Prats, offers two performance rooms. Its bar-restaurant is a very good address to have a drink or share some tapas!

This ^19th-century stage, which has seen the rise of some of the greatest figures in flamenco, has undergone some renovation work to improve its quality. In 2023, it was selected as one of the top 10% of tourist activities worldwide! Dancers, singers and guitarists perform for an hour every evening, thrilling audiences to the rhythm of flamenco. You can also take classes to learn this passionate art form.
