El Paso Opera will bring the phenomenal life of Frida Kahlo to the stage in “¡Viva la Vida!”, starring Catalina Cuervo as Frida Kahlo and Ricardo Herrera as Diego Rivera.
The hauntingly beautiful work, performed in Spanish and English with projected translations in both languages, presents the icon’s life from her teenage embrace of revolutionary politics through to her early death. Through music, monologue, dance and visual spectacle, the opera showcases the major events of Frida’s life that infused her incredible world-altering art, including her stormy love life with fellow artistic firebrand Diego Rivera.
