About this event

Frida Kahlo and the bravest niña in el mundo is an interactive children’s opera about Mariana, a young girl living in Mexico City in the late 1940s, based on the acclaimed book by Laurence Anholt. Mariana’s family encourages her to have her portrait painted by the renowned artist, Frida Kahlo. Mariana is initially frightened, but is emboldened and charmed by Kahlo, the animals in her household including a monkey, a parrot and a dog, and a visit by the exuberant artist Diego Rivera. As Mariana sits for her portrait, she learns all about Frida’s life, and begins to understand the meaning of bravery. The opera is appropriate for ages 5-11.
