Frida y Diego Community Art
In collaboration with Claire Caswell and Joslyn Castle, local artists were encouraged to seek inspiration from the opera’s story as well as commemorate the passionate and tumultuous relationship between these two iconic artists, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
Artists from all backgrounds submitted their visual art of any medium influenced by the fascinating love story of Frida and Diego, in a unique opportunity to express their interpretation of the icons’ passionate bond, their artistic endeavors, and their profound influence on each other’s work, the fascinating and beautiful story depicted in The Last Dream of Frida and Diego, and Día de los Muertos.
A small selection of art from this exhibition will be featured in the Orpheum Theater Lobby during Opera Omaha’s performances of El último sueño de Frida y Diego.
The entire exhibit is available to view at the Joslyn Castle Carriage House now through May 23.
