Her international career began in 1965. She was asked to quickly learn the title role for Gaetano Donizetti's opera Lucrezia Borgia. Caballé's first aria at Carnegie Hall amazed the New York audience.
Considered the best interpreter in history of roles like Don Jose in Bizet's Carmen or Rudolf in Puccini's La Bohème. Unmatched in both musical and sacred repertoire.

The video presents an exceptional performance of two arias from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet, arranged for salsa. Experiencing this piece in such an energetic interpretation is incredibly intriguing and original. Georges Bizet, born in 1838 in France, was a prominent opera composer. His most famous work, Carmen, is considered one of the most important pieces in the history of opera. The classic story of the seductive Carmen and her tragic romance with soldier Don José has been taken to a new level thanks to the salsa arrangement, resulting in amazing expression and dynamics of sounds. The video features outstanding artists: Sverre Indris Joner, whose piano and arrangement give the piece such an exceptional character. Carlos del Puerto on double bass and Eduardo Cedeño on congas, Tony Moreaux Charon on percussion instruments, Jose Alberto Varona on trumpet, and Sergio Gonzalez on guiro – all these musicians brought their extraordinary talents and passion to this performance. It is also worth mentioning Hovedøen Social Club and the Kringkastingsorkesteret (KORK), who provide an excellent backdrop for these outstanding soloists, creating incredibly composed arrangements and collaborating with conductor Lars Erik Gudim and concertmaster Frode Larsen. This video shows how music can be alive, transformed, and conveyed in different ways. It transports us to another era, to Bizet's work, where the influences of Cuban culture and salsa dance blend beautifully. The entire ensemble performing Carmen-Habanera and the Toreador aria in a salsa arrangement proves that music is eternal, and different styles and forms are just further possibilities for its interpretation. This unequivocally confirms the universality of music, which unites artists and listeners around the world.
This film is an absolute blast! The mix of the classic opera hit by Georges Bizet with hot salsa is incredible. The Hovedøen Social Club and the Kringkastingsorkesteret give their all, using percussion instruments and trumpet to add a Latin vibe. Sverre Indris Joner on piano makes an impression, and Carlos del Puerto on double bass adds vibrations that are missing from the original version. We cannot forget about the fantastic conductor and concertmaster, who meticulously care for the excellence of the performance. This is truly a wonderful combination of classical and modern music that will surely captivate the youth to dance and ignite their passion for opera!
