In the early 19th century, Barcelona was thriving in population and economics due to its importance as a port and trading city (Hall 1997: 128). This allowed Barcelona to undergo regularization, or a sense of new order or organization as opposed to its troubled past (Choay 1969: 15). Building a music conservatory was a symbol of stability that contributed to this regularization. According to the Liceu’s official website, the building was designed by Miquel Garriga i Roca and it was opened to the public on April 4, 1847, almost 10 years after the idea of an opera house first came to fruition (“History”). The Liceu is located in the Rambla, or “the iconic promenade in the Old Quarter” (“The Building”). This famous arts institute is still in operation to this day, but its journey through time has not been too kind. The Liceu has had numerous dangerous encounters that interfered with its structure and operation. In 1861, a fire broke out and completely destroyed the entire auditorium (“Important Events”). In 1893, two bombs were thrown onto the main floor. Miraculously, only one of the bombs detonated, but it killed and injured many civilians (Sobrer 2002: 216). The auditorium and stage were destroyed once again by a fire in 1994. After it was rebuilt its ownership was shifted to the public, or more specifically to the Consortium after previously being owned by Societat de Propietaris, or Society of Owners (“History”). Since its reopening at the turn of the 21st century, no such travesties have occurred. The Liceu is still well into production and operation. It is owned by the Consortium, or a group made up of a variety of Barcelonan councils such as the Consorci del Gran Teatre del Liceu and the Barcelona City Council (“History”). Today, the Liceu is fully operational with performances being conducted with every season. �Works Cited "History" Gran Teatre Del Liceu. Fundació Del Gran Teatre Del Liceu, n.d.
