Freddie Mercury was a man of many talents and many different sides. The songs he wrote for and with Queen filled stadiums around the globe and have rightly gone down in history, but he also embarked on a solo career that took him from the clubs of Munich and New York to the great opera houses of the world.
He was the ultimate showman, but he kept his private life away from the prying eyes of the media; a larger than life rock star who loved disco, classical music and ballet. He was a restless spirit, a true chameleon who revelled in his own contradictions.
All the different sides of this iconic musician can be found on Freddie Mercury: Messenger Of The Gods - The Singles. All formats released September 2nd 2016.
This wonderful 1987 video, capturing Freddie Mercury's unforgettable collaboration with Spanish opera diva Montserrat Caballé, accompanied the very first single from the 'Barcelona' album (which was to follow a full year later). This unexpected and unlikely merging of talent took the world by storm, and this was the first of three singles released from the album. The Director was David Mallet and it was filmed at Pinewood Studios in London. The single was released in the UK on 26th October 1987.

Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé - Barcelona (Original David Mallet Video 1987)
/ freddiemercurysolo
Everybody is commenting about Freddie but forgetting that Montserrat is legend herself. And she is so underrated.
right i agree :)
She is awesome bu no one can beat freddie mercury
Underrated? By who? aka La Superba.
@aileen wournos this is certainly not your name.
I know zero about Opera, Except the power of the voice it’s equal to no musical instrument I believe it was her graciousness to sing with Freddie mercury who may have been at the top of his Genre - I don’t think anyone in the history of music has ever done anything so beautiful
Be a good person in life. Because when you get to heaven, these angels will be singing live for you!
I was thinking the same…this is what you hear when you enter heaven!
❤
Probably the BEST collaboration of all time. To stand next to a soprano like monserat and hold your own is truly amazing. I actually cried on the day he died. I watched him at the live aid in wembley stadium and I feel blessed to have been In the presence of greatness.
Here in 2024, I easily yawn at what is considered talent today specifically in the area of entertainment. I hit my peak teen years during Freddie’s amazing rise to immortality. I didn’t fully appreciate him until over this past year where I was looking for sheer talent. I enjoy learning about anyone who finds their true calling in whatever they are doing. I have yet to be disappointed. In fact, I am amazed more every day. I certainly only worship God, my redeemer, my savior. But I believe it’s ok to enjoy masters of chosen paths in life.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Montserrat's majestic voice
Very underrated. Seen a lot of comments talking about Freddie only. Surprising.
Absolutely fantastic woman.
@@mgscoelho Be the change the world needs or stop crying
If you feel so inclined even pompous...she is truly one of a kind
even with a singer like mercury present, i just find female voices extraordinary
Apparently Montserrat Caballé was one of the only people that could match Freddie in the showoff diva department, and Freddie has stated that he was both a fan of her and opera in general. Singing a duet with one of your heroes like that, that man was seriously living the dream.
And he deserved to
Couldn't have said that better myself!😊🥰
He was dying there just imagine if he was fit c
Yes he was. His own personal dream. It makes you believe in hope and all the good things Freddie wrote about. Good post
I saw a documentary from a Japanese channel and Montserrat said there she wouldn't do Barcelona with another one unless she sees someone really special out there
Freddie said she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen, I agree.
So do I. RIP to both of them.🙏😓🙏
Humildad Montserrat caballet, de padres humildes y trabajadores, . Una beca le cambio la vida, por ke era y es un gran voz. Visca Catalunya, la tierra de esta Diva y gran Mujer❤
Yes , indeed. I beleive too . Caballe is ONE IN A MILLION AS A SWEET WOMAN PLUS ONE OF BEST SOPRANOS EVER IN OPERA HISTORY . And Mercury being part OF ONE OF BEST ROCK STARS IN MODERN MUSIC HISTORY !
Мурашки по коже 😢❤
Now they are both singing with the Angels....✨✨✨

No one comes close

You can see on Montserrat's face how much she is enjoying singing with Freddie ❤they are singing like two angels together
He tried for years to put this tune together with her it's a mix masterpiece

No puedo evitar emocionarme con esta obra de arte, a parte no solo admiro a estos increíbles artistas si no como catalana que soy esta canción me toca de lleno. ❤
I get goosebumps whenever I hear this timeless classic.
Clearly she hits notes most people could only dream of...but her TIMING is just bloody impeccable
Their chemistry together is flawless. Supposedly, it was his approach to her with the idea of the song, how had carefully planned out the song that endeared her to him.
She said the same about Freddie. Her timing is based on Freddies compositions.
Magnifique duo et superbe interprétation de Montserrat Caballé et Freddy Mercury c'est très beau ❤
Her range and delivered effortlessly with such beautiful precision.
One of the 3 great sopranos in her day. She was nicknamed La Superba.
This duet is not talked about enough.
I NEVER KNEW ABOUT IT !!! i am shocked
Dzis araby jebia BARCELONE
What is there to say, what good would talking about it do?
but, we know it's here & can share it 'til it catches on
Ohh my gosh how amazing this duet their voice both fantastic
"And if God willing we will meet again, someday". This is not a song; this is a monument.
is a jewel
Couldn’t have put it better myself Daniel. This will live forever. It was a gift to us
I agree with Jane Kirk - this is a monument that will continue to stand. It was also a moment in time.
Daniel Conde Freddie mercury was the second coming of Christ
wrong its a piece
Montserrat’s voice is amazing. She fills the whole room with sound. The power of her voice could knock down a wall. And Freddie stays with her all the way. As someone said, he can sing anything.
Barcelona '92 is probably the peak of Olympics as a cultural event
What's also worth noting is that, contrary to some other cities that organised the Olympics, everything built for the event is still in use. The Olympic stadium dated from 1929, and FC Barcelona currently play there. The swimming pool is still in use, and the Olympic Village is now an up-market residential area. There's very much a before and an after 1992 in Barcelona. In case you're wondering, we took a bus tour yesterday, and this was all explained. Woke up in Ciutat Vella this morning, to the sound of birdsong, and arrived from El Prat just a couple of hours ago.
Agree. The most memorable Olympics event
“We will meet again some day” I’m sure you both did, Rest In Peace Freddie and Montserrat ❤️
God bless them both 🙏
Montserrat don't die in 2018
@@PabloSanchez-rq6krShe died on 6 October 2018
What a gift they left us here ❤..
I almost cry lol, I read this at the same time they sing this part
Freddie could literally have sung anything in any genre. A true legend.
Indeed. There are not many Rock singer who could perform next to an opera legend and not look like school boys.

Facts!
Exactly....it could be anything is right...He might have been the best voice of our generation...gone to soon💜🎶
NORA
There's a reason why they call Caballe "La Superba"! The queen of opera and the queen of rock n' roll unite!
Гениально! Невероятно! Бесконечно, вечно! Страсть, энергия всë настоящее, живое, с любовью гордостью почтением к Барселоне!
It's the year 2020...and i really think there won't be another duet like this in the history of modern music. Freddie, Montserrat...thank you, forever.
I have to agree and I think it's because no one has ever made such a mix of rock and classic opera.
closest thing we have these days is ed sheeran and Bocelli's Perfect Symphony
No because today's music artists do not know what music's about
True you ca`t find another. Here both can sign.;]
Alex Emme .pure bliss x
What makes this thrilling is Freddy's muscular vocals combined with Caballe's beautiful but equally powerful voice. She matches him in sheer firepower, moves like the wind, and can hold a note longer than a mortgage company.
This is a great comment!
@@katrinablackwell5174 Thank you. I'm not an opera specialist, nor much interested in rock music, but they were an inspired duo. It's the magic of the music that brought them together. Freddy said that Monstserrat "IS music", and I have no doubt that this is true for both of them. If only they had recorded more-- Freddy in opera and Caballe in pop music. For them, It's like turning on a faucet, and the music pours out.
"hold a note longer than a mortgage company." ahahahah
@@williamdonahue6617 Well said! Only just noticed the lyrics & song is like a tribute to their collaboration & adoration.
The voice of a soprano is much more powerful than that of any singer. I love Freddie, but MC is another level.
The lady and the scoundrel. So beautyful.
This performance in the opening of the Olympic games in Barcelona is a forever song
Freddie's high notes are incredible here

Condolences, look , its hard but the good thing is now she can listen to them without recordings
Two Queens, Two Divas... What a duet! One of the most memorable moments in music/theatre history.
Underrated comment. I appreciate the creativity.
Sod off calling Freddie Mercury a queen. Dick
Yes ..but the bands name was Queen ..and I'm an Irish Queen also .love u and miss u Freddie ❤ .
Brings tears to my eyes. I was a teenager when I first heard the song and when the 1992 Olympics came I wished he was alive to usher in the games. ❤❤❤What a gem, what a pair.
I’m not really a fan of opera, but this. This is art.
And so is opera ^^
Absolutly!
The combination of the two genres enhance them both.
Rock and opera you would never thought would of gone so well together its a masterpiece 🥰
Listen to Patrick Cassidy's Dante piece from the movie Hannibal, the most beautiful piece of music ever. kzhead.info/sun/frepqN6HfIusoX0/bejne.html
How many artists today can hold their own singing opera? I can probably count them on one hand. A true talent lost too early.
Rachel Welty Have you heard Nicole Scherzinger and David Garrett do Lo ti penso Amore.? She has an incredible voice too.
@@reencarl8998 no but I'll check it out
Nicole Scherzinger (she did actual opera, Carmen i think), Nick Jonas (he did Les Mis), and Josh Groban literally stood in for Pavarotti.
None as great as this masterpiece. I wouldn't even need a hand to count on. In fact, the numbers are probably in the negatives.
He's not singing opera here, but rather singing with an opera singer. Freddie was an incredible talent. I love the fact that he loved all kinds of music, including opera. This performance of "Barcelona" is truly something special.
On last Saturday, my mother has left this planet. She loved them both. My mother was 95. At the funeral this song was played.
Duet wszechczasów cudownie

Freddie Mercury AND Monserrat Caballe two immortal greats.
OUTSTANDING Marvelous ! Both ONE OF BEST SINGER ARTISTS EVER IN MUSIC HISTORY . MADAME CABALLE, LOVELY SOPRANO WITH AN UNIQUE VOICE AS WELL AS , ONE OF BEST ROCK STAR SINGERS OF ALL TIMES , MR MERCURY ! THIS DUO IS DIVINE. THIS MUSIC OS SUPREME AND TIMELESS LIKE A TRIBUTE TO BARCELONA AND THE "BARCELONA OLIMPIC GAMES 92 ANTHEM TOO " . GOD BLESS CABALLE AND MERCURY ! NEVER TIRED TO LISTEN
Caballe is so SWEET AND SO TALENTED SOPRANO AND NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE
Can we appreciate how each performer's body-language perfectly encapsulates their singing style? Montserrat, flowing, graceful, hands open and inviting. Freddie, quick, powerful, direct, clenched fists evoking strength. God what splendid performers.
I notice that too but didn't know how to articulate it. Thanks for pointing that out!
I too appreciate you pointing this out about their body language/movements. They are both perfection. He is a god.

MAGNIFIQUE DUO POUR L ÉTERNITÉ QUELS MOMENTS FABULEUX GRACIAS THINGS YOU SO MUCH 🤩💖🤩💖🤗🤗🤗🤗😃🎼🎶🎶
Freddie Mercury was a freaking music genius and an excellent singer. His was the only one to be on par with an opera voice. This was an incredible performance.
I agree, though I think maybe the young Elvis could have made it too. If you listen to the notes he hits on "It's Now Or Never"
Geoff Tate
So many people talking about Freddie (alright) but forgetting about Montserrat is a bit disrespectful to me. I mean, come on. Excellent DUO
adam lambert or axl rose could have too , axl rose have 7 octaves in hes vocal
Not true at all, plenty of contemporary vocalists could easily establish that.
Две звезды вселенского масштаба, как будто два ангела. Исполнение мороз по коже, великолепно, браво.
Says so much about Mercury’s voice when he can sing next to an opera singer and not pale by comparison.
Tarantulas & Lhasa Apsos His voice even stands out on emotional charge, not that she is not good
Everybody within a mile radius of this had to use plastic beer glasses coz she kept shattering the glass ones.
I'm about to comment that
and not just any opera singer ........
Pure genius. No one else could pull this off and thank God he had a mind of his own and done this epic pioneering song. Ho0e the music industry learnt their leason 🤫👍
Sadly, this was the beginning of Freddie Mercury's decline in health. But no matter how bad it got, he still fought to the finish and made awesome music. He refused to let it taint his spirit. What a bloke!
Love this comment. Well said James.
James Michael Harding c
Cheers to that!
Una fusión única entre rock y ópera con un resultado sorprendente yo era un niño y aún los recuerdo dos de las mejores voces de su tiempo ❤😊
Se me eriza, el bello. Sobre todo con la Sra: Montserrat caballet como siente su ciudad❤
I love how they were both completely themselves, and at the same time are so comfortable working with someone from such a different musical world. Each of them was a genius and a diva in their own way, yet they shared the stage and worked together seamlessly. This was a moment for the world to treasure.
Couldn't agree more!
That's the power of music and of friendship. As a testament to how close they became on a personal level, she knew about what he was dealing with at the time, and only a small handful of people could claim that. They almost certainly would have done more work together professionally too if... well, if Freddie had more time. I read somewhere that they wanted to do The Phantom of the Opera.
Agreed!!!
Well said
@@odinfromcentr2 It was meant that they should perform the song at the Olympics in Barcelona but Freddie told her he thought he couldn't make it.He understood she thought he didn't want to so he told her why.She wanted to visit him the last months but he said he wasn't presentable.I think it was a song from Phantom of the opera she had recorded for him she played for him over the phone.And later she sent him the recording.

Montserrat adored Freddie and you could see it when they sang together. He adored her too. What a wonderful match!
I thought that. You can just see in her face she is totally enjoying herself being on stage with Freddie
Sad that they were only on playback together. Freddie had voice issues in 1987 at that time.
Да, они были в Восхищении друг от друга, поэтому дуэт божественный!Как они смотрят друг на друга: восхищение талантом, а у Монсеррат ещё и любовь, как у более великой, да ещё и женщины! Сколько слушаю - только слёзы восторга!!!))
The goosies i get when i hear this song are just unreal ..........wow
Montserrat is probably the greatest female singer ever. I guess singing with her would be like playing football with Pele yet Freddy is anything but intimidated. What a great performance to leave behind. People will still be listening to this hundreds of years from now.

Jim Hutton wrote this about the filming for this Barcelona video: "On the day of the shoot Freddie's white-cell count dropped dramatically and his doctors advised against him working. But Freddie felt time was of the essence and he was determined to get in as much work as possible before he was forced to give up; *nothing* was going to stop him making the video. He insisted on going ahead as planned." :(
Tan Siying a champ !!
This is why I have never read any of those tell all books. Way, way too sad!
The show must go on
Tan, thank-you for sharing this story. Freddie knew time was of the essence. Thank goodness he soldiered on and did this video, now we are enjoying this rare talent from these two outstanding artists.
Freddie was such a trooper and worked with his HIV, then AIDS, until he was exhausted. He knew how far he could go on any particular day and if he was determined then no doctor on earth would stop him. Just watch the video for These Are The Days Of Our Lives when he is painfully gaunt and frail. He still filmed despite being very very ill. He worked and fought until the absolute end and has my utter respect. RIP Freddie, one of the absolute greats x
Everything about this song is so magical and majestic. Freddie Mercury and Montserrat singing together is so powerfull and beautiful
Parece aqueles sonhos que a gente sonha e não quer acordar de tão lindo que é .❤❤❤❤❤

When I was kid, this didn't really float my boat, but as I grown up, I can give Freddie huge kudos for this project. At the time I remember him saying something like 'I challenge any other rock singer to make an album with a genine opera diva and survive!' - he wasn't wrong - he's totally holding his own with Monserrat, and moreover they're singing his own material. He's doing what he loves and he knows he's doing it damn well!

Fue la combinación ideal, LLORÉ 😭2 veces viendo esta majestuosidad, ahora imagino desde el fondo de mi alma, cómo sería el momento en el que ambos se reencontraron en el cielo, ver el final de este video me hace pensar que fue algo así dicho reencuentro, se me hincha el corazón💜, ahora ambos están deleitando a los ángeles con sus maravillosas voces allí arriba, y nosotros seguimos aquí apreciando estas bellas obras, hasta que llegue nuestro momento de reunirnos en otro plano terrenal de nuevo. 🤍🤍🥰🥰🥰 *¡GRACIAS!* Descansen en paz. 🤍🤍💯💯💯

Because he can...
No, not at all. It must be an astro-physics thing...
Being able to hold his own while singing with an actual opera singer just goes to further prove how great Freddie was. What an exceptional human being that man was. Amazing performance from both of them.
An AMAZING performance from both of them yesss. AGREE.🌹🌹
It's so sad that both of them are gone. They were exelennt.🌹🌹
Madre mía !! Que bonitas voces Que viva la música . 👏👏👏👏
And not just any opera singer...this is the Montserrat Caballe
Being able to sing with her with full blown aids. By this point Freddie knew he not only had aids but that he would die soon. Before one of these concerts with her, he was extremely ill. The doctor wanted him to cancel because he was so sick but Freddie refused and the show went on.
Friendship forever
There was a time when truly phenomenal music was created.
Thank you, Montserrat Caballé, for giving Freddie Mercury the chance of a lifetime, by performing Barcelona, which was the used for the 1992 Olympic Games, just months after Freddie Mercury's tragic, premature death. RIP Freddie, Mr and Mrs Bulsara, Freddie's partner, Jim Hutton, and not forgetting Montserrat Caballé. 😥❤
@@harshab4084, I hope so, too, in my humble opinion.
@M H Doobs, yes, I am praying for her, Freddie Mercury, her family, Freddie Mercury's sister, her family, Freddie Mercury's parents, and his partner, Jim Hutton, too. She should have been on Freddie Mercury Saved My Life, with Alfie Boe, a TV documentary telling the story of how Alfie Boe made his mark, in opera music, cos she was a legend, in opera music, as well as Freddie Mercury, and Alfie Boe, in my humble opinion. 🙏😥❤
@@harshab4084, thank you, very much.
DIOS ME AMA
@@jesuscabana SI ! te AMA
Montserrat's hand gesture at 3:08 look like she cast a spell on Freddie to belt out Barcelona.
Yes! Such a nice performance from them both!
hermafroditt I couldn't agree more
such a delicate hand gesture, I wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for your comment
Suzanne-Abigail Claxton When he first saw her on stage, he felt she did cast a spell on her
Back then, when I saw my not yet husband, I knew. Got married. He passed away. I still love this song
One of Freddie's triumphs
Two legends singing together
Spine tingling. Two legends singing together. Never to be repeated. Never to be forgotten.
The highest form of Art!!!😭😭😭
This video is truly amazing in every sense.
