Barcelona


Barcelona’s modern home for the Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya, L’Auditori stages performances of orchestral, chamber, religious and other music. Designed by Rafael Moneo and opened in 1999, the main auditorium can accommodate more than 2000 concertgoers. The Museu de la Música is in the same building.
