He sector cultural continued to grow in 2022 compared to the previous year, in a year that was one of recovery but without yet reaching pre-pandemic levelsexcept for the popular music concerts that even increased collection by ten percent compared to 2019.
It is one of the main conclusions of the SGAE 2023 Yearbook of the Performing, Musical and Audiovisual Arts, study that collects basic statistical data on culture and leisure in Spain in 2022 and which was presented this Tuesday by Antonio Onetti, president of the General Society of Authors and Editors; Juan José Solana and Rubén Gutiérrez, president and general secretary of the SGAE Foundation, respectively.

In regards to the performing arts, in 2022 the number of performances grew by 18.7%, attendance by 29.8% and collections by 37.9% compared to the previous year. However, compared to 2019 figures, before the pandemic, functions have fallen by 14.6%, while The number of spectators and revenue have decreased by 47.4% and 38.3%, respectively.
As Rubén Gutiérrez explained, both in the performing arts and in classical music it is observed that the recovery of supply is ahead of that of public attendance and revenue, so it is necessary that public administrations insist on stimulating the presence of spectators.
The same did not happen in the live popular music concertswhere in comparison with the previous year, there were increases of 51.4% in the offer, with almost 98,000 concerts, which were attended by more than double the number of spectators and which raised almost three times more.

In the physical market, the rise in prices once again stood out vinyl sales, which shows that it is no longer an “anecdotal or residual” market, said Gutiérrez.
With regard to the rooms cineas happened in the performing arts and classical music, despite improving the 2021 figures, it is far from recovering the pre-pandemic values.
Thus, the number of sessions increased by 35.5%, attendance by 44.2% and collections by 47.9% compared to 2021, but, if compared to 2019, there were 16.4% fewer sessions, 43.3% fewer viewers and 40.2% less revenue.
