  His 1987 hit single 'Barcelona' saw Freddie sing alongside with one of the world's most revered and respected opera singers, Montserrat Caballé. The song was a huge success around the world, and Freddie achieved his dream of singing opera with his most beloved opera singer. Yes, Freddie wrote the song for her.

  Freddie was one of the most diverse singers I've ever heard. Freddie & Montserrat recorded a whole album together and there are two other performances on YouTube that are fantastic. "The Golden Boy" as mentioned by someone else and "How Can I Go On". The song Barcelona was used in the opening ceremonies for the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona but sadly Freddie passed away a year before and would never see the great honor done to his song. Montserrat was a world renowned soprano and was known as "La Superba" in the opera world. She was Freddie's favorite singer. They really had great chemistry together and a mutual love and respect that lasted the rest of their lives. I am so glad that you enjoyed this and I hope you'll check out the other two songs mentioned above!

  I love this album so much! ❤ Freddie has said Montserrat has the most beautiful soprano voice and wanted to capture it. &nbsp;They were supposed to sing this at the 1992 Olympic games in Barcelona but Freddie died the previous year. 😭 &nbsp;<br><br>You should check out &quot;How Can I Go On&quot; from the same album. It&apos;s such a beautiful song! I like it even more than Barcelona.

  Great metaphor. &nbsp;Freddie is definitely the color of a song.

  It was a huge experience for that time — one of the greatest opera singer had no fear to sing with a non opera singer and of the top of this — he was no hetero and had aids — unthinkable, nobody would be that foolhardy to risk the career.<br>Monserrat was so famous and great and didn’t care.<br><br>I am not sure if somebody who lives today can imagine how risky that was. It was not good for your reputation of an opera singer to collaborate with other genres or omg with somebody who was not morally integer.<br><br>Shout out to a great person — Caballe 👏<br>Love from Austria/Europe 🇦🇹
