Last week, Barcelona’s Liceu Opera House held its first concert since mid-March when it was shut down due to Covid-19. For this performance/art project, conceived by Eugenio Ampudia, all 2,292 seats were filled with house plants that were donated by local nurseries.

The string quartet’s performance of Giacomo Puccini’s “Crisantemi” was livestreamed and all of the plants were then donated to 2,292 frontline healthcare workers at the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona.
