Performer: Orquesta Sinfónica del Gran Teatre del Liceu

An innovative angle on a familiar ballet, Benjamin Pech's production brings some novel ideas to fore.

Contrasting sensations at the Liceu, where the audience punished a production of La bohème with boos and gave rapturous applause to a cast that performed at half throttle.

Fine musical performances blend with staggering video artistry in Aleu's spectacular science-fiction setting.

Josep Pons discusses the future of music in Spain, his goals as the head of the Liceu orchestra, his work with Spanish youth orchestras and his enthusiasm at premièring L'Enigma di Lea, the first opera from Benet Casablancas.
