Music in L’Auditori

L'AuditoriThe music complex L’Auditori is 42.000 m2 and was designed by architect Rafael Moneo. It is situated near the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya and the Plaça de les Glòries, a square where the three most important lanes of Barcelona merge: The Dioganal, Gran Via and the Meridiana. The building was being employed on March 22nd in 1999.



The complex surrounds a central patio on which a big glass cube is standing with paintings of Pablo Palazuelo. L’Auditori possesses a symphonic hall, a hall for chamber music and a polyvalent room. You will also find the Music Museum and the Music university of Catalonia there.

The symphonic hall has 2.340 seats with a stage of 260m2 on which big symphonic orchestras, inclusive chorus, can perform. The hall for chamber music has a stage of 120m2 and a capacity for 700 spectators. The polyvalent room has 344m2 when the sitting grandstand is shoved in. It has capacity for 300 to 500 persons and there’s the possibility to install a central or side stage there.

The Music Museum is exposing more than 500 historic instruments in its permanent collection, coming from Europe as well from other areas. In the historic archive of the museum you can find more than 12.000 documents, among them a lot coming from the inheritances of famous composers. Above all you can find a collection of 7.800 objects illustrating the evolution of analog and digital sound recordings here.

The Museum also possesses the Sala dels Músics Catalans, that shows the music in Barcelona in the period from 1880 till 1950, and a Sala d’Interactius, where visitors interactively can make use of different music instruments and models. In another room of 200m2 there are being held temporarily exhibitions, of course with music as theme.

The museum is open all days from 10.00 till 18.00 and on Sundays till 20.00. However on Tuesdays the doors are closed.
