Professional trajectory[]

Núria Espert studied high school at the Maragall Institute in Barcelona and later completed her studies with music and languages. At only sixteen years of age, she began to work in amateur theatre and in the 1950s she had the opportunity to perform, in her native Barcelona, great classics such as La vida es sueño (Life is a Dream) (1950) and El jardinero de Falerina (The Gardener of Falerina) (1953), by Calderón de la Barca;^[1] Los empeños de una casa (1952), by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz;^[2] or Romeo and Juliet (1953), by Shakespeare, adapted into Catalan by Josep Maria de Sagarra.^[3] In this language she interpreted numerous works, such as El marit vé de visita (1951).^[4]

Her big break came in 1954, when she replaced actress Elvira Noriega in Medea. The triumph she achieved through her performance at the Teatre Grec in Barcelona^[5] was decisive for her to dedicate herself to acting in a professional manner. During the following years, and as part of the Lope de Vega Company directed by José Tamayo, she consolidated her position as one of the figures on the Catalan and Spanish scenes. In this line, she obtained success in plays like El caballero de Olmedo (1954), by Lope de Vega; La muralla (1955), by Joaquín Calvo Sotelo; Julio César (1955), by William Shakespeare, together with Mary Carrillo; Las brujas de Salem (1957), by Arthur Miller;^[6] or; Don Juan Tenorio (1958), by Zorrilla, together with Luis Prendes.

In 1959, she created her own theater company and, shortly after, she premiered Gigí at the Recoletos Theater in Madrid and Eugene O'Neill's play, Anna Christie.^[7]
