A major event in the artistic calendar, the festival is a beacon of creativity that attracts renowned international artists. A program that combines classical music with theatrical innovation makes the festival an exciting fusion of many styles.<\/p>\n
Barcelona\u2019s strategic position, attractive Mediterranean lifestyle, and long-standing artistic reputation have made it a magnet for international talent. Organizers of major international events such as the MWC, the America\u2019s Cup, and in its day, the 1992 Olympic Games, all turn to Barcelona as the host city. This is undoubtedly also the case for major international musical events.<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\nEven more music this year<\/h2>\n
From March 5 to 24 this year, the 5th Barcelona Obertura Spring Festival will host no less than 40 concerts and more than 500 international musicians.<\/p>\n
Launched 5 years ago by the three leading Catalan musical institutions, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the Palau de la M\u00fasica, and the Auditori de Barcelona, the initiative is promoted by Barcelona Global and the Barcelona City Council. The aim of the festival is to put the rich musical variety of Barcelona on the world map and ensure that the world knows that classical music really matters in Barcelona.<\/p>\n
There will be 7 festival concerts at the Auditori, 1 at the Liceu, and another 7 at the Palau.<\/p>\n
