SEASON PRESENTATION
CONVERSATION ABOUT EXILE

Excellence and innovation

Through the legacy of Victoria de los Ángeles

The Lied Festival Victoria de los Ángeles pays tribute to the Barcelona soprano by combining three of the facets that defined her: a love for Lied, excellence, and the promotion of new talent.

The Victoria de los Ángeles Foundation promotes this cycle dedicated to the Lied genre, which the Catalan singer approached with such success.

It offers recitals by internationally renowned artists (LIFE Recitals), an innovative format that gives young performers the opportunity to sing alongside established musicians (LIFE New Artists) as opening acts, and a series of parallel educational activities (LIFE Akademie).

Exile Is an Uprooted Plant

When a plant is uprooted from its natural habitat and transplanted elsewhere, it may take root again—or it may never adapt and eventually wither. The same can happen to people in exile, who, once removed from the environment to which they belong, must try to adapt to a new reality. This was the fate of two of our country’s greatest musicians, Manuel de Falla and Pau Casals, both born in 1876 and both destined to die in exile. Following the Spanish Civil War, Falla went into exile in Argentina, where he died in 1946. Casals, meanwhile, refused to perform in any country that recognised Franco’s regime and died in Puerto Rico in 1973, physically far from, yet spiritually always close to, his beloved Catalonia. Throughout this season, we will commemorate the 150th anniversary of their births from a variety of perspectives.

LIFE Tour

The journey of Winterreise

Franz Schubert (1797-1828)

Jordi Labanda

Image of the Victoria de los Ángeles Centenary

The logo for the Victoria de los Ángeles centenary is a creation by the illustrator Jordi Labanda. It features Victoria de los Ángeles' most characteristic traits: her gaze, her signature “à la garçon” haircut, and her inseparable pearls.

The illustrator has combined the colors red (strength), violet (woman), and pink (femininity) in a pop-reminiscent illustration typical of the soprano's era of maximum splendor. “Victoria 100” was chosen because she was always known internationally as Victoria de los Ángeles (which was precisely her baptismal name and not a stage name as is often thought), although during the early years of democracy in Catalonia she was also referred to as Victòria dels Àngels.

A reflection of her life, as Victoria was the daughter of an Andalusian father and a Castilian mother—witnesses to the first immigration of the early 20th century—who taught her from a young age to love the land and culture that welcomed them: Catalonia. Therefore, any controversy regarding the name is unjustified, and the choice was made for how everyone knows her: Victoria.
