Frida, My Love is a musical available for production. It offers roles for a mezzo soprano as Frida, and a tenor role for Diego Rivera.
A production of Frida, My Love is planned with Verismo Opera for the 2012-2013 season in Berkeley, California.
Frida, My Love is the tale of a tempestuous marriage. The artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera find their uneasy marriage disrupted by the arrival of an exiled Russian revolutionary. They divorce and remarry, amid passion, jealousy, revenge. While living through global depression, international intrigue, and assassinations, they remain faithful to a sense of beauty, loyalty to their country, a dream for a better world, and ultimately each other.
