Three or four years ago she gaves a recital in the Barcelona's Opera House, Liceu. It was the first time after 25 or 30 years without singing on the Liceu, because she had a discussion with the previous management; the day of the recital was very exciting, all the public was crazy with she, applauding and constantly "Bravos", she was crying on the the stage it was a day for the memory...
