Montserrat Caballé & Al Bano: 25th Peralada Festival

Lo spettacolo

Enjoy a wonderful concert with Montserrat Caballé and Al Bano at the Peralada Festival 2011.

The first concerts of the Castell de Peralada International Music Festival took place in 1987 and since then it has been held, without exception, during the months of July and August at the historical venue of Castillo de Peralada. In 1992, it became part of the select European Festivals Association (EFA), which underlined it as a high‐quality festival on a par with other important events such as Bayreuth, Berlin, Florence and Salzburg. The Castell de Peralada Festival showcases recitals by famous singers, symphony and choir concerts, operas, musical theatre, dance, jazz, pop, chamber music concerts and family‐orientated performances.

Soprano Montserrat Caballé and the popular Italian singer Albano Carrisi, with whom she is preparing a special crossover‐based show, will perform together at the 25th Peralada Festival. Twenty years after her first foray into this genre with the legendary collaboration with "Queen" frontman Freddie Mercury, Montserrat Caballé has returned to popular music this time with Albano Carrisi, with whom she has collaborated in recent years.

The festival actively supports Spanish composers and artists and commissions projects and musical scores with the aim of enriching the cultural variety on offer in Spain. At the same time, soloists and prestigious international ensembles from different artistic fields are invited to take part. This philosophy has allowed Peralada to enjoy a widespread fame and has positioned the festival as one of the most important cultural events in Spain during the summer period.
