Mont­ser­rat Caballé, now 79, suffered a stroke while in Rus­sia and, while briefly los­ing con­scious­ness, fell and broke an arm.

She was flown last Sat­urday to the Sant Pau hos­pital in Bar­celona where she is “show­ing favour­able pro­gress, fully con­scious and able to speak with her doc­tors and fam­ily mem­bers” says the Voice of Rus­sia.

Con­sequently she has had to can­cel upcom­ing engage­ments, includ­ing a per­form­ance sched­uled for this even­ing at the Aud­it­or­ium Girona in north-east Spain, where Caballé and her daugh­ter were due to give a joint recital.
