The Catalan singer, united in art and life to Jordi Savall, passed today in Barcelona

Born in Barcelona, Montserrat Figueras has been a leading exponent of a generation of singers who approached the music composed before 1800 by combining the greatest attention to the original sources with an expressive research that emphasized at the same time the the beauty of the sound and the poetic dimension of the text, in a synthesis of singing and declamation.

Il Teatro della Memoria joins in the general grief and wishes to express the warmest condolences to Jordi Savall and to her family.
