The evening brought together members, artists and representatives of the operatic world and also included the presentation of the <strong>Critics\u2019 Awards<\/strong>, alongside performances by emerging and established artists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Through this honour, Amics del Liceu particularly recognised the musical project developed by Josep Pons since he became the theatre\u2019s Music Director in <strong>2012<\/strong>. During this period, his work has played a decisive role in the artistic growth of the <strong>Gran Teatre del Liceu Symphony Orchestra<\/strong> and <strong>Chorus<\/strong>, the expansion of their repertoire and the development of a distinctive musical identity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The distinction also acknowledged his commitment to the major operatic and symphonic repertoire, with composers such as <strong>Richard Wagner<\/strong>, <strong>Gustav Mahler<\/strong>, <strong>Richard Strauss<\/strong>, <strong>Claude Debussy<\/strong>, <strong>Alban Berg<\/strong>, <strong>Dmitri Shostakovich<\/strong> and <strong>Giacomo Puccini<\/strong> occupying a central place in his work at the theatre, alongside contemporary creation and the recovery of Catalan and Spanish musical heritage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>Amics del Liceu<\/strong> maintains a close relationship with the opera house and promotes opera through lectures, publications, cultural visits, travel programmes and patronage initiatives. Its activities include support for chamber concerts featuring members of the Liceu Orchestra and projects designed to encourage new generations of performers.<\/p>\n<p>The title of <strong>Honorary Member<\/strong> therefore carried particular significance: it came from an association formed by audiences and opera lovers who had closely followed the development of the theatre\u2019s musical project.
