Palau de la Música Catalana · Ciutat Vella
Handel's wickedly funny tale of Roman scheming gets the star treatment: Magdalena Kožená leads a killer cast in one of opera's great dark comedies, staged in a dazzling modernista palace.
December 5 at 6:30pm
Palau de la Música Catalana · Ciutat Vella
Two operas, one devastating evening: Mascagni's *Cavalleria rusticana* and Leoncavallo's *Pagliacci*, the classic verismo double bill of jealousy, betrayal, and heartbreak. Performed in the Palau de la Música's dazzling concert hall, it's as much a feast for the eyes as the ears.

Palau de la Música Catalana · Ciutat Vella
Be there for the very first performance of A. Charles's "Black e-voices," paired with brooding madrigals by Monteverdi and Gesualdo. Choir Cererols and accordionist Ander Tellería fill the intimate Petit Palau.

January 25 at 8pm
Palau de la Música Catalana · Ciutat Vella
Wagner's rapturous Tristan und Isolde and Strauss's achingly beautiful Four Last Songs, performed in a concert hall that looks like a jewel box come to life. Soprano Elisabeth Teige and conductor Josep Pons lead the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie through an evening of German Romanticism under the Palau's famous stained-glass skylight.
February 20 at 6:30pm
Palau de la Música Catalana · Ciutat Vella
Mozart's haunting Requiem, performed by full orchestra, choir, and four soloists beneath the Palau de la Música's kaleidoscopic stained-glass skylight. A mass for the dead in a hall that feels gloriously alive.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
