And if you would like to enjoy a play, we recommend that you visit the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya. One of the most renowned plays which is currently being performed is ‘Professor Bernhardi’, an adaptation of the 1912 classic, which was banned for many years in Austria. In the play, a doctor’s complicated decision in a university hospital unleashes a series of consequences which will shatter the political and religious establishments of a country, which is obliged to take a stance. teatre nacional catalunya - barcelona
