“Frida is an emotional explosion of music, color, and truth!”
–The Boston Globe
The life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo has become legendary. Wracked by agonizing pain and caught up in a stormy marriage to Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo was engulfed in agony that fueled her paintings. She created fifty-five self-portraits, but no portrait of her is quite as revealing as the one in this opera.
Critics and audiences across America and throughout Europe have fallen in love with the opera Frida. Its fusion of opera, Broadway, musical theater, jazz, and Mexican folkloric music paints a portrait of Mexico’s greatest artist, but also of her tragic life and her tragic love story.
This production is directed and choreographed by Marco Pelle of the New York Theatre Ballet, who directed Verdi’s
Un ballo in maschera (A Masked Ball)
for FGO in 2017 and served as ballet choreographer on Ryan Murphy’s
Pose
(FX Network). It features Colombian soprano Catalina Cuervo
(2013, Maria de Buenos Aires)
as Frida Kahlo and, making his Miami debut, bass-baritone Ricardo Herrera as Diego Rivera.
Advisory: This opera contains adult content, including suggestive themes, graphic scenes, and partial nudity.
