From >....Patrice Wynne JAZZED! Detroit Museum of Art/ DIA contacted me yesterday to be a featured artist/ designer at the museums historical grand exhibition of the art of Diego and Frida, the first in the US. The process has begun. AND a Frida opera is opening simultaneously! The DIA exhibit will feature photographs, career-spanning paintings, and the...drawings, that Rivera created to develop his Detroit frescoes. It will mark the first time these drawings have been exhibited anywhere in 30 years. The exhibit will also also take a look at the lives of the artists before they arrived in Detroit and also after they left, and will also offer an overview of Detroit at the time and its Depression-era economy. In all, there will be more than 70 works of art on display in the exhibit. Meanwhile, the Michigan Opera Theatre will present Frida, the first-ever opera about the life of Kahlo. Composed by San Antonian Robert Xavier Rodriguez and starring soprano Catalina Cuervo as Kahlo, it promises to be an authentically Latino production — a demographic that is often excluded from the high arts. Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in Detroit will run from Sunday, March 15, 2015 to Sunday, July 12, 2015 at the Detroit Institute of Arts Frida will make its Detroit debut Saturday, March 7, 2015 at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts....>
