Doc worthy of the Spanish Diva
argentino_de_rio7 November 2003
Opera fans will hardly find a better documentary about divas of the operatic world than this film. The life of the reigning queen of opera is interestingly told in a series of interviews, excerpts of her performances, and beautiful locations worldwide.

The film not only details the career highlights of the soprano, but also highlights her personal life. The interviews in five different languages (mainly in Spanish, English, and Catalan) feature diverse personalities, from her daughter and husband, to the likes of Dame Joan Sutherland, and Placido Domingo, among many more.

Rare footage of live performances include the diva's earliest known one in the mid 60, and thrilling duets with Jose Carreras, and the like. All this is presented in a captivating way, following the footsteps defining the singer's life: Barcelona, Basel, Germany, New York, Milan, and Vienna. Definitely, a must for opera lovers.

Shot during 3 years production on location in 23 cities! Possibly the most complete and costly docufilm ever done on an Opera singer.

An in depth bath on the Golden Era of Opera. With the who's who of the operatic world appearing in it.

A story filled with inspiration, astonishing music,and moving moments.

Recognized in 14 prestigious International Film Festivals.

The DVD of reference for Caballe.

A must for any opera or music collector. Opera cannot be understood completely without experiencing Montserrat Caballe.
