Surtitles
All operas have surtitles in Catalan, allowing the audience to follow the plot. The subtitling of the adapted libretto of the performance is transcribed onto the screen placed at the top of the stage only in Catalan*.
*Since the beginning of the 2023/24 season, the Liceu has detected some issues due to the effects of obsolescence concerning the surtitle screens available in most of the theater seats and the image screens (TFT). While the complete renewal of the screens is being carried out, the screen above the stage has been immediately enlarged and will have subtitles in Catalan, Spanish, and English, temporarily, to facilitate proper following of the operas.
Audiodescription
Live audio description service in one performance of each staged opera, providing information on key visual elements for the benefit of blind and visually impaired spectators. You can follow the service through the LiveVoice mobile app by downloading Audiodescription at the Liceu in LiveVoice and entering the code: 546668.
The audio description can be enjoyed from any seat, has high digital quality, allows individual volume control, and requires a normal data connection. The service starts with an audio introduction of the work, 15 minutes before the beginning. Personal headphones are required.
