Upcoming concerts in Barcelona

From 29 July, summer Fridays at Poble Espanyol will, for the first time, be the territory of opera. P!ÓPERA Picnic&Ópera is the title of this new cycle that will host different shows with several elements in common: excerpts from the best-known operas performed by professional singers and piano accompaniment (by the Petita Companyia Lírica de Barcelona),

The experience will be completed with the possibility of enjoying, before or after the show, a dinner served in a picnic basket, which will include a careful selection of fresh, local products.
