In fact, Freddy Mercury was a big fan of Montserrat Caballé, and he had the dream of singing with her. And, when Miss Caballé knew about it, and listened Freddy's music, became inmediately a Freddy's fan too. If you watch some interviews of them together, you can see the great love that Freddy had to Montserrat.
When she heard this rock star wanted to meet and possibly sing with her she asked her people what could I have in common with this rock star. Their people set up a meeting. Freddie so impressed her with his musical knowledge that they talked through the wee hours of the morning
For Freddy: "Montsy".
Barcelona is just the appetizer, The Golden Boy is the entree.
Bon Appetit!
Monserrat Caballé is in my opinion the best opera singer of all times. She was the idol of Freddie Mercury before he started his career. Singing with her was for him like a miracle, a dream came true (in his own words)
the best soprano all of time
RIP Freddie-Best stage performance of ALL time
And Montserrat Caballe, who passed away in 2018.
R.I.P to both Freddie & Montserrat Caballe ♥♥
Freddie is always Freddie, and his voice combinated with Montserrat, simply amazing!!!!!!
This was sung for the Barcelona Olympic Games and was one of Freddie's last live performances.
RIP Freddie.
Montserrat belongs to Barcelona and she was asked to produce a song for the 1992 games. She suggested a collaboration with Freddie and the rest is history.

Not sure how this version started
Mike has explained in interviews they weren't asked to do a song for the olympics
Freddie and mike wrote Barcalona
When it was recorded her brother who was invilved with organising the olympics put it forward and it was chosen
Freddie hadn't wrote it for that
Montserrat was a world class operatic soprano.
Freddie Mercury was a great admirer of Montserrat Caballé, one of the most famous opera singers in history, which meant that when they met in person they became great friends. As a result of their friendship, Freddie proposed to Caballé to sing together, and since Barcelona had been chosen as the venue for the future 1992 Olympic Games, he composed this song for their opening. They also recorded an album with several more songs. Unfortunately he left us half a year before the event in which everyone would have heard him live singing with his great friend.
Montserrat asked Freddy why he haven't wrote a song about her hometown and this is what he did. In my opinion the best song he made and also the best performance. The two voices are great together. RIP both
Freddie was a huge fan of opera, so I've read. He will have been super stoked to have been a part of all this, and promoting the 1992 Barcelona Olympics that unfortunately he never lived to see. Had he still been alive and well by the time the opening ceremony kicked off, it's highly likely the pair would've performed this there.
RIP Freddie and Montserrat. Both icons and legends
The story of how this song/album came about is so lovely.
Freddie joked in an interview on Spanish television how he'd like to perform with Montserrat Caballe
Freddie idolised her and when she heard about the interview, she responded positively.
He wrote the song and an album for them both, which is why this is more like opera with elements of theatrical rock.
Montserrat and Freddie were great friends and I am sure that they are heaving such a great time on the Heavenly Stage.
On Spanish TV in 1986, Freddie mentioned that Montserrat was his favorite singer in the world. He was reportedly amazed by the legendary ability of Montsy (his nickname for her), to control her voice. “He had such love and admiration for her, he was always watching to make sure everything was perfect for her” (Montserrat’s niece) 💐💐
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Great info .. Thanks!
Thank you Bisscute for reminding all just how great Freddie was. Always makes me smile when new fans discover Queen & Freddie Mercury of course.
It’s amazing how freddie kept doing what he knows best, he kept bringing joy through his art despite the disease! Rest In Peace 🎤🔥
There is an inaccuracy. Fredi has long admired opera since his youth and dreamed of singing in opera. And Manserat is his favorite singer. He adored her. And now his dream came true...
Bravo Montserrat Caballe and Freddie Mercury!
Such a beautiful, memorable moment you've given us. ❤🙏❤
She actually asked Freddie to perform this for the Olympics in 92' Freddie had to tell her he would no longer be here. RIP Dear Freddie❤😢
Hi Beautiful Biss.
I watched a documentary a few years back, on how this duet came to be. Freddie had already been diagnosed with AIDS, and when they met for the first time, he refused to kiss Montserrat but instead proffered his hand to shake hers. She, apparently, found this to be quite rude, so he had to confide in her and explain about him having AIDS.
She took his face in her hands and gently kissed him on the lips & their great friendship started from there.
They rehearsed the song over three days before finally filming it.
The song was used by the BBC as the score for their coverage of the 1992 Olympic games in Barcelona.
Hope you're having a great day/time ... Big Hugs ...

When I hear this song I think of my grandmother. She loved this song as much as both the singers…
This is an amazing song by two of the best voices of the last century, R.I.P. Freddy.
Freddie admiraba a Montserrat,una de las mejores sopranos de opera de la época, consiguió poder conocerla, ella también admiraba a Freddie,a Freddie se le ocurrió la locura de grabar algo con ella y ella,aunque le parecía una locura, aceptó el reto... por supuesto hubieron muchas reticencias y prejuicios por parte de la industria comercial y musical, y también por parte de la música clásica, el mundo de la ópera, salió un disco maravilloso a contracorriente,no quiero olvidarme de la tercera persona, más escondida, del proyecto,Mike Moran, productor de este disco y de los últimos de Queen...es el señor que sale en el vídeo como director de orquesta...no sé cómo describir la canción...una locura maravillosa y genial... Freddie nos aportó muchas, gracias por reaccionar a viejas canciones maravillosas como esta😊
You're right. This was fun for Freddie. And, a dream come true. There is an entire album of Freddie and Montserrat Caballe. They truly loved each other and this project meant the world to them. Freddie's last stage performances were in support of the Barcelona album ❤
Another masterpiece. The conjunction of the Voice of Rock and the Voice of the Classics in perfect harmony. Rock and Classics have a lot in common, more than is believed and thought. Both genres are full of Rockstars. Celebrating the Barcelona 92 Olympic Games, nothing was better than this interpretation to celebrate the greatest festival of Humanity.
Hi sunshine. Thanking you so much for looking at these video. For a long time & requesting many, many times to check this out. I thought you would enjoy. There is also another video of this with Freddie wearing a black tux. Check this out on the side. it's somewhat different. Be Happy, Mark
Freddy ALWAYS gave goosebumps.
I was at home listening to live aid,queen on vinyl, but you popped up on youtube so i changed to what i listen,
Such a beautiful and emotional song,stay in History forever,I'm so happy that I born and lived in this beautiful years🎉
Nice. Thanks 🌹
Hard to imagine that, just 4 short years later, we lost Freddie.
This song is just the appetizer. The Golden Boy is the main course. Bon Appetit!
they have both passed on by now, but i see them in heaven teaching the Angels how to really sing..
Not the only song they did together "how can I go on" was also a fantastic performance they did together
I like your comment about them being confident of their capabilities and brought their best to this performance. It's stunning! So beautiful together. I agree he was enjoying himself immensely ... but so was she. What a stunning combination of his rock opera style and voice range and her out-of-this-world voice. Enjoyed this respectful reaction and review. Nicely done. I had goose bumps, too.
The Golden Boy, by Freddie and Montserrat 🔥🔥🔥🤘😎
Freddie Mercury had so much more to give, Sadly he was not allowed the time to carry on. But what a legacy of music and performance he left for us to enjoy.
Hi Biss, please check also "How can I go on" another wonderful collab of these GOATs 😀
Descansen en paz ambas leyendas. Siempre en mi corazón.
If i remember correctly, the lyrics of the song, written by Freddie, describe him meeting Montserrat for the first time, they met in Barcelona for the first time, if memory serves, hence the title reflecting the location of the first meeting.:
"Barcelona it was the first time that we met
Barcelona how can I forget
The moment that you stepped into the room you took my breath away"
The bast from album is : how can i go on
now both singing in Heaven ...RIP both
Hello Biss, thanks.
Whole album is so MA-GI-CAL.
ps: here Freddie was an underdog.
bullshit
Freddie is the GOAT. Enough said.
I agree 💛
My Fav till date Lt.Freddy Mercury n also love to see ur reaction cos of ur accent,liveliness n also u r pretty...hope to meet u some day😋😋😋..always love u❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes it is joyful.
This was the first collaboration between a rock singer and an opera diva, but Freddie was much more than a rock singer. He and Mike Moran composed a whole duet album in this operatic style, Freddie's dream came true.
That was worth the wait. I enjoyed all your Queen reactions, and felt like you'd be missing out if you never listened to this.
This song is pure magic, and your voice and accent is beautiful too
This is absolutely one of the best combinations to two disciplines of music that you could have very, very nice
I discovered your channel yesterday and I've already become a fan, I loved your content
Magnificent 🤜🏻🤛🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Legendary Master Music the World QUEEN
Love the performance of the both of them here. If you want to check out another, I think, incredible performance of someone not associated with opera singing it, you should watch Aretha Franklin serving as a last minute stand in for Luciano Pavarotti at the Grammy's.
Watching this is emotional because it was so special to Freddie. I love knowing that their meeting, musical collaborations and performances together brought him so much happiness, it was his dream coming true. 👑
Please listen to "How can I go on" from Freddie and Monserrat.
I think you would love the song!
I really love your reactions!!!!!!!!! Please listen to the whole album, it's something unique on this world!!!!
Vivo y amo en Barcelona y es maravilloso verte disfrutar este momento que nos pone los pelos de punta!!...una vez más!!!... gracias Bisscute!! eres >Maravllosa!!!
Sarah Brightman and Jose Cura singing 2 songs ... "just Show Me How to Love You" and "There for Me", Sarah Brightman singing "Here With Me" , "Anytime, Anywhere", "A Question of Honor" and Jose Cura singing "Nessun Dorma"
I loved Barcelona Olympic Games. Every night the transmissions of competitions ended with this song. And after the games ended, there was a radio show where the whole album was played. Perfection.
Смелость города берёт! Очаровательная Biss замахнулась на оперу! Да пребудет с ней сила! Хорошее начало! Молодец!❤
Great music.
A great Song, it became the inofficial Song for the Olympics in Barcelona 1992, it brings me Goosebums everytime i hear it!
Excellent! 😊❤
Not many peeople reactors to music seem honest to me, i think many are just acting somehow..you enjoyed this masterpiece, i can tell it
This was one of the happiest times in Monsterats life. She adored Freddie and this collaboration allowed her to “just sing”. Opera required her to stick to the script and the story being told, this album allowed her to have fun and step out of her comfort zone.
Beautiful reaction, simply amazing thankyou
Such a beautiful song. Your reaction to it was amazing. X
@Bisscute Great choice for react to. One of the greatest voices in history of rock, and one of the greatest voices in history of opera. When in 1992 we in Spain knew that they two were going to sing together, before the ceremony of the Olimpic Games, all we knew that it was going to be great. And it was.
i like to think they are in heaven teaching the angels how to really sing
In the end, it was not possible to see them together at the Olympic Games, but we will always have this excellent version.
Freddie died in 1991 so he was never able to perform for the opening ceremony. He'd already told Montsy he wouldn't be there and why. It's thought she was one of the first people he told.
@@hellsbells8689 Yes, I should have said, rather, "When we in Spain knew that they two were going to sing together in 1992, in the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games." Better expressed, like this?🤣🤣 I know he died in 1991, but in Spain they were talking about the Barcelona Olympic Games long before, and we saw them sing together long before.
@@thepsychophonicThere is an appearance by Montsy from a football match from 1999. This is the one that always breaks my heart.
I'll try and link it below, for in case you haven't seen it or in case you'd like to see it again. 😀

Absolutely love your reaction to this beautiful song, Bisscute x
Hello Bisscute, without a doubt a different experience for both singers, I think they both came out of their respective comfort zones to give us this beautiful performance. Taking advantage of the fact that this week International Women's Day will be celebrated, I would like to suggest a reaction to the singer Nina Simón, who in addition to having been a great singer, was a fighter for the civil rights of people of African descent. I understand that she received 15 Grammy Award nominations and was recognized with the Grame Hall Of Fame in 2000, and that two days before she died, on April 19, 2003, she was awarded an honorary diploma at the Curtis Institute, the Philadelphia academy that rejected her when she was 19 for being black. I suggest the song Ain't Got No, in its live version, or Feeling Good, both equally beautiful. Greetings and a special hug for you on Women's Week, from Mexico City.
Two unique voices that are now in heaven and that still resonate on earth.
Freddie was a great artist. Another good one biss,keep up the good work
The peformance is beautiful
This was just lovely.
Thanks!
Freddie’s very last live performance was at Knebworth Park 1986 the 9th August I know I actually attended this live concert, the crowd was estimated to be 120,000- 140,000 people!
Great! Freddie was a fan of opera! Love your reaction!
Between Freddie and Montserrat, they actually collaborated together on an entire album; the Barcelona album also included several tracks credited to Tim Rice - the lyricist who works with Andrew Lloyd Webber!
Simply brilliant
Joy to the world. So says Austin Tx. 😎🍸
Class
she could hold a note !!
She wasn’t called La Superba for nothing. She was the queen of the opera. One of the best there ever was.
Dope
Freddie Mercury such a iconic voice would have loved to see him live
My suggestion is Ummet Oscan with Otyken the song is Altay
In fact, that was the last time Freddie was on stage. The best song from this partnership between Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé, is the track "Hold Can I Go On", which can be seen on CZcams at this link (not virus): czcams.com/video/ksNoe8W2jTc/video.htmlsi=P-fOeugLNtrdojMJ
Sorry, this is just the video not a live performance. Freddie stepped on stage last time in October 88.
It's truth. The video in the link in my comment is a live concert, but this video is not. I only realized after posting the comment.
Hallo miss bisscute good morning,very nice react from you bisscute❤❤❤❤
¡Emocionante!
Gracias Bisscute
You need to listen to the album they both did together . It's truely a masterpiece
Fantàstic song for a fantàstic City ❤❤❤
Montserrat is an Angel.
Freddie was a fan of opera but Montserrat especially
❤❤❤
I can't imagine any other rock/pop singer even attempting a duet with an operatic powerhouse, much less holding their own in that endeavor.
“Ca-ba-YAY”
Have you already reacted to "How can I go on" from these two ? If not, I suggest you do it as soon as you can, it's really something of incredibile.......😊
Super song!!!, super voices thank you Madalia for this reaction, please react soda stereo - "sobredosis de tv"2007 you are beautifull
Mercury one of the best voices in history. great performance and great reaction Miss Bisscute thank you for this.👍👍👍👍 for future reactions Please react to the Queen song: Who Wants to Live Forever and react to the movie where it was used: Highlander the Immortal.
I don't really know too much about Opera or classical music. There were times in my life, when I wanted to try and learn more about it, but never really invested much effort in to doing so, but my grandma sang Italian Opera, so growing up, I saw her perform a few times in small amateur productions, and when we'd go to her house, she'd always been in the background practicing. She even looked a little like Montserrat. You know the old saying, "It's not over until the fat lady sings!" Well, my grandma was the fat lady!
Awesome song!!!! Great production!!!! It's such a grand sounding piece.
If you like this, try "The Golden Boy". Same both titans.
