Two leading Carmen's, each in her own style, but with a similar temperament, Teresa Berganza and Victoria understood the character in a similar way: from sophistication, respect and freedom. In the same way that some of the best singers in the country, such as Emma Calvé and Conchita Supervia, had previously understood it. Victoria and Teresa remained in contact throughout their lives, and the latter was closely linked to the Foundation that bears the former's name, being its honorary artistic president until her death in 2022. In an impossible dialogue, two greats of the moment, Adriana González and Marina Viotti, together with the conductor and pianist Iñaki Encina, make possible this encounter between these two singers who took the Spanish repertoire to another level.
