Eugenio Ampudia, the creative artist behind this original idea, explains that he wanted the opera house to be “alive” even when there aren’t people in the audience.

The plants will be gifted to medical professionals at Barcelona’s Hospital Clínic who worked at “the toughest front in a battle unprecedented for our generations,” the Liceu website states.
