Description

Icons of the public and unforgettable voices.<div> When the greatest voices of opera meet pop icons.</div><div><br></div><div> From Maria Callas to Freddie Mercury, from Bellini to ABBA, from Casta Diva to The Winner Takes It All, this Clash of Divas explores a single realm: that of iconic voices, unforgettable timbres, and emotions taken to their highest degree. For opera and pop music share the same intensity: a taste for drama, for passion, for excess, for vulnerability laid bare. In Bellini as in Queen, in Verdi as in ABBA or Michael Jackson, singing is about giving everything: making the voice a theater, breath a tension, words an immediate truth.</div><div><br></div><div> These are tunes and songs we know by heart, melodies that resonate within us, voices we recognize instantly. Here, Bizet meets Dalida, Puccini encounters Barbra Streisand, Verdi reaches out to Whitney Houston, while Madonna, Kate Bush, Björk, and Amy Winehouse, each in their own way, extend the brilliance of the great operatic figures. The collaboration between Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé remains the perfect emblem: that of a world where lyricism and pop converge in virtuosity, theatricality, and raw emotion.</div><div><br></div>
