There are many incredible moments in Caballé's carreer, but this one is not too well known, but this Liu in Colon, was unsurpassed and that opera house at that time, was full of people that knew what they were listening to. For me the best Liu ever. One of the greatest ammong the greatest, a display of technical skills rarely found, obviously not today jajaja. Que viva la Caballé y gracias a Lohengrin por estos audios❤

Had a privilege to make two gala's of Montsi and her daughter back into the 90s. Mdme Caballe was the last of the greatest Divas ever walked among us.

Quelle merveille

[@stefanocautavera]

She is unsurpassed in this role. It fits her voice like a glove.

Desde Buenos Aires, Argentina, mi.homenaje a la más grande Liú: la inolvidable Montserrat Caballé.

[@billyjenemusiclover667]

Just another show of absolute perfection from Montserrat!

la mejor Liu del siglo XX

I was at the Liceu today-played this rather loudly in the ticket office. Nobody knew it was Caballe! So I went around to the other side where they have the entrance to the Conservatory. Some cute kids were going in and out, no clue about Caballe. I was heartbroken- shame on the management of this theatre! There should be required education about her for all students and employees.

Liceu should be ashamed 😢

[@eduardooliverosanca4138]

You know something? You don't have to be sad. It is the time we are living today. Callas, Caballé and others at that time, had a huge respect for the ones before. But today nobody cares about that. The sense of excellency is totally lost today in so many ways. Well I don't want to extend my self...don't be sad. They have Netrebko today😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

How do you know no one knew? Because they weren’t loudly calling out her name? When I hear this song, I don’t stand around making sure people know I know. I just listen.

[@6855mike]

I asked several employees and students. They didn't know who she was, even after I told them who was singing.

[@kbhprinsesse]

Why? She was a great singer but a lot of singers were. They didn't change musical history.

[@markoorvo62]

An amazing artist and singer ❤❤❤

[@delosmike2030]

The conductor didn't like her in rehearsals because she took too many liberties with the tempi and he wanted a substitute brought in. Nilsson said, "You will not hear singing like this again for 100 years. If she goes, I go". Needless to say, the management swiftly told him that if anyone left, it would be him! The ovation is richly deserved.

Increible!❤❤❤❤

[@jaroslavsojka8266]

Wonderful singing! And a great pleasure for me to see the nick "Onegin65" here again!

[@onegin653]

My pleasure

[@joseplluistomas9010]

Primadonna absoluta de todos los tiempos

[@eduardovieira7001]

It’s a pity that we dont have moments like this registered in video

[@mahidalga]

¡Pero agradezco poder escucharla! Porque estuve en esa presentación...

[@judyjones2475]

Apparently they are planning to name the Railway Station after her , lets hope it happens 😂❤

Liu Jianchao dijo: Liù: Señor, escucha! Ah, señor, ¡escucha! Signore, ascolta! Ah, signore, ascolta! Liu ya no se sostiene, su corazón se está rompiendo! Liù non regge più, si spezza il cuor! ¡Ay, ay, lo que es un largo camino con su nombre en el, Ahimè, ahimè, quanto cammino col tuo nome nell'anima, con su nombre en mis labios! col nome tuo sulle labbra! Pero si su futuro destino se decidirá Ma se il tuo destino doman sarà deciso, vamos a morir en el camino del exilio. noi morrem sulla strada dell'esilio. Y perder a su hijo, yo soy la sombra de una sonrisa. Ei perderà suo figlio, io l'ombra d'un sorriso. Liu no tiene nada más! ¡Ah! ¡Ah! Liù non regge più! Ah! Ah!

[@bonkerss2073]

isnt this were she fainted after finishing the aria...i remember reading about it in Birgit Nilsson autobiography since she was the Turandot in this perfomance.

[@eduardooliverosanca4138]

Thanks to Onegin65 not Lohengrin, sorry 😊

[@6855mike]

I am hoping you read this comment-I will be in Barcelona soon -is there a public memorial to Montse that I can visit? Is it possible to get inside the Lyciu? I want to honor her in my own way.

[@onegin653]

There isn't memorial of Caballé. You can visit her grave in San Andrés cemetery. The Liceu can be entered by buying a ticket for a performance or buying a ticket for a guided tour

[@6855mike]

Thank you-your videos helped me appreciate La Superba even more.
