In the iconic setting of The Liceu Opera House, the Grand Dance Gala returns as a must-see event for lovers of classical ballet and stage artistry. This exceptional evening brings together some of the world’s finest ballet stars in a performance that blends elegance, technique, and emotion at the highest artistic level.

The carefully curated programme spans romantic and academic traditions, featuring iconic pieces by Marius Petipa alongside neoclassical works by George Balanchine, offering a fresh yet faithful take on classical form. Set to a refined musical score dominated by Tchaikovsky, with touches of Puccini and others, the gala delivers a rich spectrum of emotional and sonic expression.

From lyrical grace to technical brilliance, this celebration of dance affirms the Liceu’s place among the world’s great dance venues, giving Barcelona its own internationally recognised gala with a unique artistic identity.
