Montserrat Caballe

“First, love to the family. Second, love to career. Third, love to the audience.”

“I feel like a person who has dedicated her whole life to the music she loves.”

“It is the sensation of being tired but having a good feeling, you know, a sensation that you have done it honestly and given all your strength. And it is no matter that you feel like this, because this is what you have to do when you go into this sort of life. This is what I choose.”

“You are born with a sound; everyone is, less or more. And this sound has to be developed. I am not talking about vocal technique; I am not talking about how to sing. I am talking about how to produce a sound.”

“Nothing special, I have not a special talent. I have been born with a sound, and I like music and try to serve it, but talent is a scientist.”
