This is one of a series of classical artist pages sponsored by BMG Classics World. This page is dedicated to Monserrat Caballe and includes a portrait, biography, and list of recommended recordings. A discography of over 80 opera, recital and concert recordings supports Caballe's reputation as once of the doyennes of the recording studio. She is equally renowned for her achievements in the area of bel canto singing. Caballe was given the highest title of the Spanish government, the Order of Dona Isabel La Catolica, and France has honored her with the Cross of Commander of Arts and Letters. In 1992, she sang at the Opening Ceremonies of the XXV Olympiad in Barcelona; the performance was viewed by an estimated worldwide television audience of 2 billion.
