Here is Victoria de los Angeles, age 71 years singing at the Barcelona Liceu Benefit Concert, held in the Palau Sant Jordi Barcelona,1994.
Near the 1992 Barcelona Olympic site.
Many famous singers sang at this concert,voluntarily, in aid of the rebuilding costs of the Barcelona Opera House destroyed by fire in January 1994.
The Liceu was the second largest in Europe,the Palais Garnier, National de l'Opéra de París being the largest.
Fire caused almost total destruction of Barcelona's great Opera House.
The sense of loss in Barcelona,Catalonia, and Spain was shared by many worldwide.
Thankfully the Liceu is now rebuilt to it's former grandeur.
This piece is The Habanera from Bizet's Carmen sung with great style---Brava----AND THE ORCHESTRA STANDS AND APPLAUDS!

Sie war wunderbar, ihre Kunst war ein Geschenk an uns Hörer.

To be able to sing at almost top form in such an advanced age! It goes to prove that she really had a great singing technique.

Here, very much the mezzo, as opposed to the Beecham soprano, Carmen. Why not. Always a lesson in greatness! The Liceu treated her very badly for many years. It was very nice of her to sing in this benefit. She was a person who brought out goodness in others.
