La crisi obliga al Liceu de Barcelona ha retardar l'inici de la temporada

Washington Post:

Spain's economic crisis has forced Barcelona's Liceu opera house to delay the opening of its 2011-2012 season by a month and could lead to temporary layoffs at the famous theater, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.

The Liceu said cuts in subsidies by the Spanish Culture Ministry and the regional government of Catalonia have reduced its 2011-2012 budget to euro48.4 million ($66 million), down euro10 million ($14 million) from two years ago.
