Sad news earlier about the passing of Montserrat Caballé husband, the tenor Bernabé Martí (14 November 1928 - 18 March 2022). • An anecdote concerning Montsy and Joan: "During the performance of Joan's Norma with Bernabé Marti in Philadelphia (Mar 29, 1968), Montserrat came backstage to congrats her colleague and Joan said in a moment 'Ah, but after you sing it, they won't come to hear me sing it', Caballé - flattered - replied, 'Oh, I could never sing it. I don't have the high notes', 'You don't need them. They're not in the score!' laughed Joan." • Pictured here is Joan, Richard and Bernabé taking curtain calls from the performance in which the anecdote was taken. • #Tenor #BernabeMarti #Anecdote #ClassicalMusic #Opera #OperaSinger #OperaHouse #InstaOpera #OperaLover #Concert #Recital #BelCanto #Baroque #Stage #Costume #VincenzoBellini #Norma #MontserratCaballe #LaSuperba #Portrait #Dramatic #Coloratura #Soprano #Dame #JoanSutherland #LaStupenda #Diva #PrimaDonna #Legend #1960s https://www.instagram.com/p/CbQ4WQgu_jY/?utm_medium=tumblr
