Barcelona Court Schedules October Eviction for Caballé Foundation and Soprano’s Brother

Lawyers have filed an emergency appeal arguing that Carlos Caballé’s advanced age coupled with a precarious housing situation warrant halting the October eviction.

Overview

  • The Juzgado de Primera Instancia nº36 of Barcelona issued an eviction decree for October 3 2025 after neither Carlos Caballé nor the Fundación Privada Montserrat Caballé responded to rent demands or opposed the summary proceeding.
  • Since summer 2023, unpaid rents have accumulated to about €41,000, with €22,500 owed by Caballé and €18,700 by the foundation.
  • Puntí S.L., identified as a large institutional landlord, brought the summary eviction and rent claim under Spanish law following months of nonpayment.
  • An emergency appeal filed on July 14 highlights Caballé’s status as an octogenarian receiving under €1,000 a month and lacking alternative housing, supported by a municipal social services report.
  • The foundation, established in December 2019 to preserve Montserrat Caballé’s cultural legacy, faces the risk of losing its headquarters and suspending its activities if the eviction proceeds.
