The Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona

Cultural Branding, National Identity and International Visibility: Spanish Directors at Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu: 1999-2011

This Collaborative Doctoral Award offers an exciting opportunity to pursue a fully funded PhD with a leading international centre for research in cultural politics and theatrical performance with one of the world’s foremost opera houses. The research project will examine the ways in which the cultural branding of the Liceu through the work of Spanish directors has defined wider debates around the identity of the theatre and its relationship to Catalan nationalism and the regeneration of the Raval quarter of the city.
