ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Victoria and the University
In the same place and on the same day, but one hundred years later, this is how the centenary of Victoria de Miércoleslos Ángeles will begin: at the University of Barcelona on Wednesday November 1, 2023, on the exact birthday of her birth. Years later than 1923, on Wednesday-December 23, 1987, Victoria de Miércoleslos Ángeles was named an honorary doctorate by the University where she was born, a recognition that she treasured as one of the most important in her life. On that same occasion she explained that she was very excited because she learned to sing in that auditorium when she was little, on a crazy piano while her mother scrubbed the floors of this enormous auditorium. On that solemn occasion she wanted music to speak louder than words and so she offered a beautiful recital that remained in the musical memory of the city. “It was like a fairy tale, I was the daughter of the University employee who became an honorary doctor,” she said in an interview. “For me the University was a city, and the city outside was another city” said Victoria, and this space always accompanied her throughout her life as she acknowledged on numerous occasions, even being present at her debut in Bayreuth, when upon waking up the curtain to perform ‘Dich, teure Halle’ by Tannhäuser came to mind in the auditorium of his home: the University of Barcelona.
