The Gran Teatre del Liceu continues to surprise its audiences with innovative proposals. On Wednesday, February 7, 2024 at 19:30, the Liceu will present ‘Un ballo in maschera’, an opera by Giuseppe Verdi, accompanied by a fascinating masked ball, live DJ music and a varied gastronomic offer, all for a price of 30 euros.
The idea arose after the resounding success of the Liceu Under 35 sessions, which bring opera to audiences aged 18 to 35 for just 20 euros, the prestigious theater has decided to take the cultural experience to the next level.
The Liceu Under 35 initiative (La Rambla, 59, Ciutat Vella, 08002) has been successful in bringing opera to a younger audience, allowing them to enjoy high quality productions at affordable prices.
With the growing popularity of these sessions, the theater has decided to expand its offerings and take the cultural experience to new heights. The event promises not only an unforgettable opera performance, but also a masked ball full of charm and mystery.
A complete show with masked ball for 30 Euros
Tickets for this unique event will be priced at 30 euros, a slight increase compared to previous sessions. However, the additional investment translates into a complete and immersive experience.
Attendees will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the magic of ‘Un ballo in maschera’, an opera that Verdi premiered in Rome in 1859 and that narrates the assassination of the King of Sweden during a masked ball in 1792.
But what makes this event truly special is the inclusion of a masked ball that will transport attendees to a world of elegance and mystery. You can wear your own mask and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the night.
In addition, a live DJ will provide the perfect soundtrack for the occasion, ensuring that the fun continues beyond the opera notes.
Food booths will offer a variety of gastronomic options to satisfy all palates. From local delicacies to international options, it will be a unique culinary experience during the event.
