Montserrat Caballé becomes famous overnight replacing Marilyn Horne

Highlighted comments from the commenters below: John Mitchell: In the mid 60 s Marilyn Horne toyed with the idea of once again singing some soprano roles she started as a soprano singing roles like Mimi and Marie in Wozzek. She felt Lucrezia was possible for her as the tessitura is not high. But she had to cancel because of a difficult pregnancy. At that period there were very few sopranos singing this repertoire. Sutherland and Gencer were both busy, but one of the American Opera Society s members remembered hearing Caballé in Europe and recommended her. Kastrafior: Quelle sublime ligne de chant Montserrat était à l époque sopranodoublure à l opéra de Bâle (Suisse). Elle travaillait aussi comme serveuse au buffet 2 classe de la gare de cette Une femme merveilleuse, courageuse et généreuse. RESPECT Disclaimer I own nothing
