She performed in a variety of genres, but she is best known for her contributions to Verdi and the bel canto repertoire, particularly Rossini, Bellini, and Donizetti's work. She appeared at the top opera houses in the world when she stepped in for a Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia at Carnegie Hall in 1965 and then appeared at top opera houses. Her voice was described as clear yet strong, with outstanding vocal shadings and a masterful pianissimo.

Caballé became a hit with non-classical music audiences in 1987, when she sang "Barcelona," a duet with Freddie Mercury that became a standard theme song for the 1992 Olympic Games. For a number of her songs, she has received several international accolades as well as Grammy Awards.

Early life

Caballé was born in Barcelona on April 12, 1933. Due to the Civil War, her family was in a difficult financial situation. She studied music at the Liceu Conservatory, as well as singing with Napoleone Annovazzi, Eugenia Kemény, and Conchita Bada. In 1954, she received a gold medal. She then moved to Basel, Switzerland, where she made her career debut in 1956 as Mim in Puccini's La bohème. She appeared in the Basel Opera house from 1957 to 1959, performing a German repertoire that included Mozart (Erste Dame in Die Zauberflöte) and Strauss (Salome) in German, which was particularly useful for her upcoming performances at the Bremen Opera (1959-1962). She appeared in Gluck's Iphigénie en Tauride in 1961, alongside Raymond Wolansky, Jean Cox, Paul Schöffler, and others.

Caballé debuted at the Liceu in 1962, singing the title role in Strauss' Arabella. She toured Mexico from 1962 to 1963, at one time performing the title role in Massenet's Manon at the Palacio de Bellas Artes. In 1963, several more successful appearances at the Liceu followed.
