With the tandem-Andreu Portabella we started to see big names at the Liceu, beyond the environment Caballé never failed to theater in this period we began to see a resurgence of the great singers who had always been a symbol of identity of the theater of the Ramblas. Reviewing the first time this season full of illusions appraised distributions if we looked then as stellar as the vision and perspective of the years have become truly historic.
The forms still almost all aspects inherited from the past, with the same turns of fertilizers and operatic activity that began in early November, but was extended until April.
