Montserrat Caballe’s international breakthrough came in 1965 when she replaced a pregnant Marilyn Horne in a semi-staged performance of Donizetti’s Lucrezia Borgia at New York’s Carnegie Hall, which earned her a 25-minute standing ovation.

Montserrat Caballé became popular to non-classical music audiences in 1987, when she recorded, at the request of the International Olympic Committee, “Barcelona”, a duet with Freddie Mercury, which became an official theme song for the 1992 Olympic Games.
