Montserrat Caballé: 25th Peralada Festival

О событии

Enjoy Montserrat Caballé's wonderful performance at this edition of Peralada Festival.

The first edition of the Castell de Peralada International Music Festival took place in 1987 and since then it has been held, without fail, 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‐choir concerts, operas, musical theatre, dance, jazz, pop, chamber music concerts and family‐orientated performances.

Closely associated with the Castell de Peralada Festival since it began, the return of Montserrat Caballé was an absolute must for an edition such as this year's. This Barcelona performer, one of the last great divas on the international singing scene, is back at the Festival accompanied by her inseparable Manuel Burgueras at the piano to once again move and excite audiences with the magic of the bel canto in works by composers such as Nidermayer, Nicolai, Catalani, Gounod and Massenet.

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.
