Caballé's international breakthrough came in 1965 when she replaced an indisposed Marilyn Horne in a semi-staged performance of Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia at New York's Carnegie Hall, which earned her a 25-minute standing ovation. While this was her first engagement in a bel canto opera and she had to learn the role in less than one month, her performance made her famous throughout the opera world.

Lucrezia Borgia: Nel veneto corteggio (Alfonso). 12. Lucrezia Borgia: Vieni, la mia vendetta (Alfonso). 13. Lucrezia Borgia: Qualunque sia l'evento (Alfonso). 14. Lucrezia Borgia: Addio, Gennaro (Gennaro). 15. Lucrezia Borgia: Qui che fai? Disc: 2. 1. Lucrezia Borgia: Tutto esequisti? (Alfonso). 2. Lucrezia Borgia: Cosi turbata? (Alfonso, Lucrezia, Gennaro). 3. Lucrezia Borgia: Un temerario osava tests, di giorno (Alfonso, Lucrezia, Gennaro). 4. Lucrezia Borgia: Soli noi siamo. Che chiedeste? (Alfonso, Lucrezia). 5. Lucrezia Borgia: E si avverso a Gennaro (Lucrezia, Alfonso). And that is Caballe five years later at her La Scala debut! I'm not complaining, I loved this Carnegie Hall performance and I'm sure it brings back sweet memories to people who attended it but I find Caballe sounds a bit too girlish. She is stunning but I felt this Lucrezia needs to mature a bit and that she did.
