Grec’08: Barcelona Summer Arts Festival
SandrineHello everyone,
If you like going to concerts, theatres and contemporary dance, prepare yourself: Right after the Sonar Festival, there is only a few days left before the beginning of the Grec’08 Barcelona’s annual summer arts festival.
The festival is scheduled this year from 25th June to 2nd August 2008 and the shows will take place in various spots around the city: The ‘Teatro Grec’, ‘Mercat de les Flors’, ‘Plaza del Rei’, ‘CCCB’, ‘L’auditori’, ‘Teatro Lliure’, ‘TNC’, ‘Palau de la Música Catalana’, ‘MACBA’, ‘Fundación Joan Miró’ etc. etc. For complete information, check the section “Venues”:
Every year I put a big post-it on my agenda not to forget to check their programme because there is one venue I particularly fancy: The ‘Teatro Grec’.
The ‘Teatro Grec’ is a Greek style amphitheatre situated on the slopes of Montjuic, in a hidden area and surrounded with beautiful baroque gardens. When concerts are organized by the Grec festival in this impressing venue, the gardens of the amphitheatre look really amazing: They put garden torch lights, serve champagne, fruit brochettes etc. Going to a concert there is like going to a nice gala dinner! (And is very refreshing as well!)
I checked their programme for the next two weeks and if you like flamenco and are interested in checking this venue, you might be interested in going to a show called: Mujeres. In this show the three women are Merche Esmeralda, Belén Maya and Rocío Molina (very well known in the Flamenco world).
‘Mujeres’ is scheduled this Sunday at 10h00 pm and it’s a one-time show only!
Here are the details of the ‘Teatro Grec’:
