The Opera Singer from Spain, Montserrat
Caballe has just passed away in Barcelona at the age of 85.
The
singer rose to fame due to her bel canto technique. Her
interpretations of the roles and work of Bellini, Rossini and
Donizetti have been highly praised and appreciated countless times.
Furthermore, the Spanish Soprano also won hearts with her success in
pop alongside Freddy Mercury back in 1987 with the song Barcelona.
According
to reliable sources, Montserrat was facing several health issues due
to which she was admitted in hospice last month in Barcelona.
Her
collaboration with Freddy Mercury for the song Barcelona allowed her
to quickly rise to success after the song was released in the year
1987. The song gained such popularity that it became the unofficial
anthem for the city. After Mercury passed away, the opera singer
performed the song at the opening ceremony of the 1992 Olympics
alongside Jose Carreras and Domingo.
Her
death came as a loss for the entire nation. The Spanish prime
minister also spoke for the late Montserrat Caballe, saying that they
have suffered the loss of someone who was a representative of their
country. He promised that her voice and her music will forever be
remembered by not only the residents of the country but, people all
over the world.
Montserrat
is glorified for having performed on stage nearly 4,000 times with no
less than 90 opera roles to her name.
