In the new issue of "Secular Life", which will be released on Saturday, February 24, at 23:20 on "1 + 1", Catherine Osadchaya will go to Barcelona to visit the legendary opera singer Montserrat Caballe.

The star has been living in an apartment for several decades in the center of the capital of Catalonia. Now the opera diva is preparing for the first concert in Ukraine in seven years and remembers with a warmth its last visit.

"I was a little afraid that the audience might meet me cool, but after the performance I cried like a child, because the Ukrainians so warmly accepted me. I always feel like you are in a family circle! Since then, Ukraine occupies a special place on my map! "- says Caballier.

Therefore, the hostess was delighted with the journalists from Ukraine and even arranged a small tour of her housing. The apartment of the world opera star strikes: on the walls - portraits of the singer, a photo of her family and a huge collection of fans with which Montserrat performed on stage.

The singer admitted that she keeps all the presents from her fans.

Of course, Ekaterina Osadchaya came to visit with a gift. Montserrat Caballe was very pleased with the traditional Ukrainian necklace and promised to put on an ornament for the Kiev concert.

By the way, Ukrainians will have the opportunity to be the first to congratulate the opera diva on the anniversary - two days before the Ukrainian show, the singer will celebrate her 85th birthday. Despite the venerable age, the vociferous Spaniard still keeps vivacity and fervor. And when he is rooting for his favorite football clubs, then even the neighbors hear it.

"I'm a football fan!" True, I watch matches not at the stadium, but on TV. I'm sick not only for "Barcelona", I like "Real Madrid", "Valencia"! My favorite football player is Leo Messi, he is Argentine, but he plays so well for "Barcelona".

I also root for Ronaldo from Real Madrid, but, as for me, he is too narcissistic. Still like Gerard Piquet - the husband of Shakira ".
