The Gran Teatre del Liceu Opera House reopened on Monday and held its first concert since the Paris Theatre.

Lock-in-no need to worry about the social distance of the audience.

The UceLi Quartet replaced I Crisantemi (Chrysanthemum) by Giacomo Puccini, replacing 2292 plants, one for each seat in the theater. The concert was also broadcast live for people to watch.

The event was conceived by Spanish artist Eugenio Ampudia, who said he was inspired by nature during the pandemic.

"I hear more birds singing. And the plants in my garden and outside grow faster. And, without a doubt, I think maybe now I can establish a very close connection between man and nature." He said before the show.

At the end of the eight-minute concert, the sound of leaves and branches blowing in the wind resonated with applause.

The theater says it will donate plants to local health workers to thank you for your efforts during the pandemic. After three months of movement and assembly restrictions, Spain lifted the national emergency.
