When she told him she couldn't wait to sing this with him at the opening of the Olympics in Barcelona Freddie told her he wouldn't be there and explained to her why. Broke her heart to know he wouldn't live much longer because she had grown to love him. Freddie adored her. Have watched this many times and I still get tears in my eyes every time. One of Freddie's greatest performances because he was singing with his idol.

This, ladies and gentlemen, was the genius of Freddie Mercury.

This song opened the Olympics in Barcelona. Montserrat was Freddie's favorite opera singer. They became close friends. She attended the unveiling of the statue of Freddie in Switzerland following his death with his parents.

He wrote this song for “Montsy” as he called her… She asked him to write her a song about her hometown, Barcelona. He was a fan, they became loyal friends. He composed this and it is part of an album they did together- he was a genius songwriter, composer. ❤

The greatest duo of all time. Montserrat Caballé was one of the best sopranos in history, and Freddie was one of a kind. Impossible not to get emotional with this 😭

Montserrat Caballé was one of the best operatic sopranos of the twentieth century. She had a six decade year and won three Grammys. Freddy was a huge fan of opera and wanted everyone to know about it( hence why he wrote Bohemian Rhapsody). He was a huge fan of Montserrat Caballé also. This was a dream come true for him. You should check out their album. 💜

The song was performed by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe, who Freddie declared to be one of the most beautiful women he ever met. Caballe requested that Freddie write a song about her hometown, and he did so, in Barcelona, a song about meeting a lover in a breathtakingly beautiful city. Mercury had befriended the operatic soprano Montserrat Caballe and had long admired her music. In 1987 and 1988 they recorded a whole album of pop-operatic material. <br>This was supposed to be the theme song for the 1992 Summer Olympic Games held in Barcelona, Spain; however, the organizers chose another song at the last minute due to Freddie Mercury's untimely death at the end of 1991 from AIDS, to avoid controversy. However, the song was still performed at the opening ceremonies, Caballe performing live to a backing track featuring Freddie's vocals.

They loved each other so much. She was his idol.

I was so happy when I saw that you were reacting to this. Directional mics recorded it from a distance, but they also had voices putting out enough sound to be heard without the mics. Which is why singing opera takes so much training. It is not for the weak, yet Freddy was doing this in the last months of his life. An amazing display of his skill as a composer as well as a singer and showman. And she was HIS idol, and deservedly so. She is mind-bogglingly good!

This was filmed in 1987. For the 92 Olympic Games. Freddie died before they took place.

Everyone always praises Freddie Mercury for his extraordinary voice and performances but he was a gifted and unique composer and songwriter and musician as well. He was the first to create this mash up of rock and opera which has been copied many times since. He did most of the musical composition for the entire Barcelona album.
