JohnS Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Thank you Sim. I saw her I think in her last Royal Opera House performances in Rossini's 'Il Viaggio a Reims' - still in great singing voice although I recall some spoken asides which didn't carry and rather irritated the audience. But I will remember most her wonderful Verdi, her Elisabetta on the Giulini Don Carlo recording is a great favourite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Her funeral took place today in Barcelona, attended by Jose Carreras, the Queen of Spain, the Spanish Prime Minister and the Catalan president. I am sure it was a lovely and fitting farewell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 http://www.roh.org.uk/news/remembering-montserrat-caballe-1933-2018 Good to see the Royal Opera House's tribute - and 'News' working. 'Un ballo in maschera' with Bernard Haitink conducting was fabulous, with Montserrat Caballe's Amelia utterly ravishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
