It’s the Liceu in Barcelona, and the wolf is at the door. So they are shutting from March 20 to April 10, and again in June, to stave off total closure.

The Liceu is one of Europe’s best known opera houses, restored from ashes ion the 1990s. Here‘s the story, here in English, and here’s a protest. Still more here.
