San Jose’s Opera Cultural presents Robert Xavier Rodriguez’s ‘Frida,’ a 1991 opera about iconic artist Frida Kahlo.
Full of pain, love, drama and dazzling artistry, Mexican icon Frida Kahlo’s life would seem to be the perfect subject for an opera. But don’t take our word for it, ask Robert Xavier Rodriguez, the acclaimed, Texas-born composer whose deep catalogue counts scores of orchestra and chamber works as well as eight operas, including 1991’s “Frida.
The two-hour opera, which incorporates a variety of Mexican music traditions, touches on all the larger-than-life themes that made Kahlo’s life and career so compelling: her rich, provocative art; her tempestuous marriage to famed muralist Diego Rivera; and the pain and health problems she endured. San Jose-based Opera Cultura, with specializes Latinx-themed operas and theatrical works, returns to live performances with this production, which is directed by Igor Vieira and conducted by Paula Nava Madrigal, and stars soprano Hanna Socorro and baritone Octavio Perez Bustamante .7:30 p.m. April 29, 2 and 7:30 p.m. April 30; Mexican Heritage Plaza Theater, 1700 Alum Rock Ave.
