Auditori de Cornellà

Auditori de Cornellà is a modern performance venue in Cornellà de Llobregat, a town just southwest of Barcelona in Catalonia's Baix Llobregat district. Since opening its doors in 1994, it has grown into a main cultural stage for the wider Barcelona metropolitan area, drawing more than 50,000 spectators to over 150 events every year.

What can you see at the Auditori de Cornellà?

The programme here is broader than a typical concert hall. The main auditorium, with 738 numbered seats, hosts classical and contemporary music concerts, theatre productions, family-friendly shows, magic performances, circus acts, dance and stand-up comedy. The artistic calendar runs across two fixed seasons, spring and autumn, giving visitors a steady, predictable line-up for most of the year.

Beyond the arts, the venue regularly hosts corporate conventions, shareholder meetings, political gatherings, product launches, school festivals, and even television and radio recordings, making it one of the busiest multi-purpose halls in the region.

How is the venue laid out?

Alongside the main hall, the building includes a second space seating up to 372 people, a foyer of more than 250 square metres, and an annexe room of over 150 square metres that can be booked for side events. The 500-person entrance hall comes with a cloakroom and a café, while performers have five fully equipped dressing rooms at their disposal. Every area of the building is wheelchair accessible.

Why add Cornellà de Llobregat to your Barcelona itinerary?

For travellers based in Barcelona, the Auditori de Cornellà offers a change of pace from the big downtown stages: a smaller, fully professional venue where you can experience Catalan cultural life away from the tourist crowds. Cornellà de Llobregat sits just a few metro stops from central Barcelona, so an evening concert here pairs easily with a day of sightseeing in the capital.
