My husband and I are so glad that we took the official guided tour of this hidden gem designed by Lluis Domenech i Montaner. Tucked away amongst the narrow streets of La Ribera, it was quite a treat to come across the Palau de la Musica Catalana for the first time and see its facade of beautifully detailed sculptures and intricate mosaics. Once we went inside and saw the interior, especially the concert hall itself, we were even more impressed. Our guide did a masterful job of providing the history and explaining the details of the building including, the ironwork, mosaics, stunning stained glass windows and skylight, and the ornate sculptures. As part of the tour, we had the opportunity to sit back and listen to the organist play. Not only was the concert hall gorgeous, the acoustics were amazing too. Our only regret was not being able to see a performance at the concert hall during our stay in Barcelona. We highly recommend booking this one hour guided tour. It must be booked on the official website in advance as spots are limited and it often sells out. If you book 21 days in advance, there is a small saving of 4 euros per ticket off of the standard rate of 20 euros.

Flamenco is so incredibly captivating, and the emotional performance at Palau Dalmases was no exception. I've seen a few flamenco performances including one of the most famous dancers in Spain, and I felt that this was the best performance I had seen. The musicians were very talented, particularly the guitarist - surely the best around. With the location in the gothic quarter it makes a great place to wander before and after the show, and a glass of cava went perfectly with the experience.

OK, I’ve seen 40+ productions over the years, by nearly 20 different companies. There are four great productions, the two by Peter Wright for the Royal and Birmingham Royal Ballet, the Paris Opera Ballet - all grand versions from big companies - and then the beauty of Peter Darrell’s version recently restated by Scottish Ballet. I think the British lyric style of dance pioneered by Fred Ashton suits the Nutcracker and both Darrel and Wright learned their craft at his fee I’ve seen and enjoyed Mark Morris’ Hard Nut, Mathew Bourne’s AMP workhouse escape version, both of which I enjoyed. There have been turkeys along the way. Both the Bolshoi and Kirov versions suck. Varna Opera Ballet was so terrible I left at the interval. Compania Nacional Danza don’t have a big classic tradition, so I approached with caution. First the venue. A bit out of the way in the suburbs. But it’s a great space. Good public areas and facilities. About 20-25 years old. Large auditorium with impressive sight lines and some of the most comfortable seats I’ve ever sat in. Raked stage, ideal for dance. It appears from programming to be making a bid to be the dance venue for Barcelona. Convenient parking. Lots of eateries close by for after. The orchestra was the local symphony, there is a difference between playing a concert and the strict best required for ballet. Act 1 was nearly there. Act 2 they nailed it. They were applauded rapturously. Sets were imaginative, stripped back, suited for touring. But the did the job very well. Special mention to the simple impression of a Christmas tree which resolved and transformed magically. The kingdom of snow back cloth was beautiful. Act 2 was danced in front of a cyclorama cloth. That and just legs maximised the stage for dancing. And that’s what it’s all about. The party scene is always slow. Lots of business for the kids and the magic from Drosselmeyer was good. The fights between the mouse queen and babies and the soldiers was well imagined and executed. The transition to the kingdom of snow was amazing and the snow flakes, all of them, 18, danced beautifully, filling the stage. Act 2 is just virtuoso dance pieces. No story. All of them excelled, special mention to Spanish, Arabian and Russians. The sugar plum fairy and her prince were perfect, as was Clara and the nutcracker prince. The denouement when it all end and Clara awakens, was it dream or nightmare, was skilfully handled, as was the sinister presence of Drosselmeyer. Had he conjured the whole thing, did he have evil designs on Clara himself? We shall never know. I can now say that there are 5 great productions. This is one of them. Possibly in the top three. Performances, only 2, were a sell out, full house. They could have run it for a fortnight. It deserves to be seen.
