She was a legend in Spain and he was a big fan. Singing with her was one of the final items on his bucket list-- she was thrilled and he wrote a full album for her. This was meant for the Olympics Opening, but was recorded earlier-- sadly he knew he was not going to make it to 1992. Epic, right??!

She was a world famous legendary operatic soprano, and he loved her voice and wanted to meet her. They met briefly in early 1987 and hit it off. She was from Barcelona, and she asked that he write and record a song with her that would be used as the theme for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. This was the result. They ended up recording an entire album together, and his last live performance was with her. He was already ill, and apparently when she said she wanted him to sing this with her at the Olympics he told her he would be gone by then, and he was. Barcelona was replaced as the theme for the Games after Freddie died but was indeed used throughout the Olympic telecasts, including here kzread.info/dash/bejne/e657pbqdiJnNmco.html at the beginning of the International Broadcast of the Opening Ceremonies. Side note: In case you don't remember it or want to see it again, if you skip ahead to about 2:42:00 this Olympics had pretty much the coolest and most spectacular cauldron-lighting ceremony EVER.

Spanish soprano, Montserrat Caballe was an operatic diva of the first order. Dubbed "La Superba" (the superb one) by the Italian public, she had an international career in concert and opera that started in the 1960's. Freddy was always an opera fan and specifically a fan of hers. The collaboration with her on this duet he said was a *dream come true". She was a true fan of his as well and spoke so glowingly of the experience of working with him and how he was such a special person. They originally recorded this duet way before the Barcelona Olympic games in 1992 and Freddy did not live long enough to sing it at the games but a video recording was used during the opening ceremonies. Montserrat Caballe never officially retired and passed away in 2018 at the age of 85. May they both sing endless duets now in heaven.❤

RIP Freddy ...the man who cannot die....for he lives through his music...the undisputed King of Queen.

I watched an interview with her after his death. She recounted their first meeting, one in which they sang together all night long in a joyous jam session. You could hear a pure loving admiration in her account... when those two met, their love of music collided in a beautiful, unmatched way that made each of them feel how magnificent they were. Hard to put it in words, but incredibly touching. This performance warms my heart so!

Correction: Freddie was the ULTIMATE showman!

Freddie is quoted as saying, when he first heard Montserrat Caballe sing, that he had heard the most beautiful voice in the world. It was the theme tune for the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona.

When Freddie was told he was best singer in the world, he replied, "No, im not, MC is" She heard his comment and invited him to meet. He wrote this song bcz it was the city where they met. Gratifying to know this gave him so much joy bcz he knew he was dying.

This brings back so many memories. He was just so.....electrifying.

Well...that was friggin' GLORIOUS!

It’s amazing how perfect his voice was without all the technology to make modern singers sound better than they actually are

Watching you experience this song for the first time has brought me to tears. I'm a massive fan of Freddie and absolutely adore that song. It's so powerful.

Rock meets opera! Only our Freddie 💕 even while being extremely sick can create magic in your soul and she is an amazing opera singer. I can’t listen to this song enough. She passed away a couple of years ago.

THIS!! This makes me bawl like a baby EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I miss him terribly. Thank you!!

Freddie adored opera, and as you say this was a perfect day for him (and my goodness he had some good days). Peace, brother J.

Yes it was made the official Olympic song which took place in the summer of 1992, sadly Freddie had past away 7 months before it took place

Freddie always brought the best out in everyone. ❤️

Absolutely love this. You can see how happy they are to sing with each other. I get chills when I hear this one. Showmanship, skill and love of music. 💖

I'm so glad you finally got around to this one. There was no limit to the talent Freddie had and Montserrat was a legend. It's so sad that we have lost both of them.

Barcelona is a song written by Freddie Mercury, performed by Mercury and Montserrat Caballé. The song is also included in their music album Barcelona. It was the official anthem at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona Spain, following Freddie Mercury's death in 1991.
