A long-running festival which takes place in some of Barcelona's finest music venues, bringing some of the most famous exponents of guitar playing in the world to our doorstep. A welcome annual event. 2010 is the 21st edition.

 

 

Top-notch independent music competition run annually in Barcelona. Typically held over four nights with three to four bands per night vying for the vote of audience members and judges. Run by the enthusiastic and genuine guys over at BCNWeek, with help from their friends at Jagermeister, it's an honest, fun-filled and well-run event... and gives local bands a genuine opportunity to be heard by a wider audience. Highly recommended.

 

 

Aren't they lucky Barcelona did make it through to the Champions League final?! :)

Der Rosenkavalier takes place during the reign of the Empress Maria Teresa and was created by Richard Strauss at the start of the 20th century as an homage to Mozart—Strauss's character of Octavian was based on Cherubino from The Marriage of Figaro. Last performed at the Liceu in the mid-Eighties, this production is the creation of the Semperoper Sächsische Staatsoper Dresden, with musical direction by Michael Boder and stage design under the direction of Uwe Eric Laufenberg.
