Hi everyone,
Perhaps not a music hall as I would know it, it's correct title is Palau de la Música Catalana and is typical of Catalan design; it is also a UNESCO World heritage site. It is a glorious riot of colour with great use being made of ceramic tiles throughout the building. I hope you like the following selection from the tour: 1. Ceiling Ceramics ![]() 2. Stairway ![]() 3. Glowing Supports ![]() 4. Glimpse of the Stage ![]() 5. Faces in the Ceiling ![]() 6. Players ![]() 7. Organ Amphitheatre ![]() 8. Setting the Stage ![]() 9. Audiences Domain ![]() 10. Ceiling Glass ![]() 11. Stage and Piano ![]() 12. Music Hall Amphitheatre ![]() A few more will follow with some specific details. Thanks for looking and comments always welcomed. Best regards, Neil. |

It is not a Music Hall, but a Music Palace
![]() Nice pictures, #8 being my favourite. TFS. |

Another excellent set Neil, bringing back great memories. It has been one of the most fascinating buildings I have visited. Being there was a feeling that nobody can capture in a picture, but you did very well in recording this beautiful place! I people have a chance, go and visit this place.

A great place and a gret photographic document of it!
I particularly like the shots of the glass ceiling - #5 and #10. I think of #12 as the perfect photographic document of that place! TFS and all the best! |

I love simplicity in images and a centered composition which frequently works best to my eye, especially so with symmetrical subjects, so #'s 5 and 11 are striking. And #5 being absolutely perfectly centered, such attention to detail, is a bonus because with such a geometric image just being a little bit off center can be quite distracting.

These are awesome! Rarely have I wanted to go so badly to a place after seeing the photos. I'd love to see a piano concert here, man what an experience that would be! Number 12 is my favorite. I like the symmetry of 11 but when I see 12 and how you captured the curvature of the upper balcony I've got to give it the nod.

Wow! They are all wonderful photos, but #12 really shows the scale and grandeur of the hall. Well done, Neil.

A true owenn series! Thank you for showing us the beauty (and extravagance) of this Palau! The Faces in the Ceiling is one of my faves, also because I know how difficult it is to get such a photo right.

What a building, what a fine set of images. Your series shows very well the richness of details of this wonderful building. My favorite is #12. TFS
