Portland Opera Onscreen

Portland Opera will launch its new digital channel, Portland Opera Onscreen, with this unique filmed production.

Viva la vida! A celebration of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, Frida is vibrant and infused with artistic imagery-all brought to life by the beautiful music of Mexican American composer Robert Xavier Rodríguez.

In two poetic acts, we follow moments from Mexican painter Frida Kahlo's life-the traffic accident that changes her physical abilities, her turbulent relationship with Diego Rivera, the men and women that she loves, and the art that she makes. We enter the imagination of an iconic artist and heroine as she changes the world with her story and legacy.


Featuring Catalina Cuervo as Frida and Bernardo Bermudez as Diego, with the 20/21 Portland Opera Resident Artists.

Sung in English and Spanish with captions.

Approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, with one intermission
