Time For A Bit Of Nibble!

Frankly, my dear, I should bury your script in a drawer and put a lily on top - Noel Coward.

Welcome to my Tuesday Yak 😃

Too warm, and the added loud snores didn't help!

Back upstairs to open the curtains and greet the sunshine!

Quick look in today's newspaper.

María de Montserrat Viviana Concepción Caballé i Folch  was a Spanish operatic soprano. She sang a wide variety of roles, but is best known as an exponent of the works of Verdi and of the bel canto repertoire, notably the works of Rossini, Bellini, and Donizetti. She was noticed internationally when she stepped in for a performance of Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia at Carnegie Hall in 1965, and then appeared at leading opera houses. Her voice was described as pure but powerful, with superb control of vocal shadings and exquisite pianissimo.

Caballé became popular to non-classical music audiences in 1987, when she recorded, at the request of the IOC, "Barcelona", a duet with Freddie Mercury, which became an official theme song for the 1992 Olympic Games. She received several international awards and also Grammy Awards for a number of her recordings. 

She would have been 88 years old 🎈

She sadly died aged 85 in 2018.
