Grec Festival 2016

The Grec theatre on Montjuïc is an extraordinary space hewn from the rock of an old quarry and surrounded by parks and formal gardens, with ideal natural acoustics, it makes a spellbinding venue on a summer night. Performances here are a highlight of the Grec festival, which takes it name from the theatre itself. Held since 1976, the Grec is an international theatre, dance, music and circus festival that showcases both the best of the Catalan performing arts scene and outstanding shows from Spain and the rest of the world. In 2015 the programme comprised 94 shows, including 36 new works, with artists as diverse as leading light of early music Jordi Savall, flamenco star Diego el Cigala and soul singer Lee Fields.
