The Powerful Retelling of Frida Kahlo’s Life Story Comes to Arizona Feb. 13-16
PHOENIX – Ballet Arizona is thrilled to present the U.S. premiere of “Frida”, a powerful retelling of Frida Kahlo’s life story and her poignant, painful, and magical world, stunningly choreographed by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa. This production will run for a limited time at Symphony Hall (75 N. 2nd St.) in Phoenix from Feb. 13-16, 2025.
One of the most intriguing artists of the 20th century, Mexican-born Kahlo refused to bow to misfortune, zealously challenged taboos, championed women’s rights, and painted portraits that became famous worldwide.
“‘Frida’ is a powerful ballet that will stay with audiences even after they leave the theater,” said Daniela Cardim, artistic director of Ballet Arizona. “We are honored to present the U.S. premiere and eagerly await its debut on our stage. From its striking sets and costumes to its enthralling choreography by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, ‘Frida’ provides yet another lens through which to experience this enigmatic artist and icon.”
