Frida is the first production in the opera group’s Coming Home programming, which is bringing shows back to Music Hall and the Detroit Opera House after a year of performances across the metro area. This year, MOT is performing the opera on Feb. MOT first presented Frida in 2015 at the Macomb Center for Performing Arts in Clinton Twp. From humble origins and despite crushing obstacles, Frida Kahlo forged an artistic identity that captured the world’s imagination.” “ Frida is an example of an extraordinary woman who created her own distinct language for an indomitable vision of reality. Wasserman Artistic Director Yuval Sharon in a press release. We move backward, so our audience can move forward.“…Our season this year emphasizes everyday life and visions of reality, from Italian verismo to American realism,” says MOT’s Gary L. Instead, they'll be left with a notion that the pain was worth the fleeting moments of joy. When the audience leaves the theater, they won't be left with the heaviness of inevitability. But where does it start? As we move through the world of memory, we witness a resurrection, and a new love blooming. We know there's a darkness to it, we watch the death and tragedy unfold.
"But the effect is profound: suddenly, La bohème, this classic, archetypal opera, becomes a bit of a mystery. So a reverse chronology comes more easily than you might expect," Sharson said. "The music that begins Act I and Act IV is almost identical, and even in its normal chronology, La bohème isn't a connected linear narrative, but a collection of short episodic narratives. La bohème will be the first opera performance in the venue in more than two years. "The fact that we are celebrating 'The Next 50' of the organization, renovating the hall to make it more accessible for the audience, and signaling a change in artistic direction-all of this says now is the time to adapt and align ourselves even more with our community.” David DiChiera took a chance on Detroit in challenging times for the city, and we want to make it clear we intend to stay rooted right here," Sharon said in a statement. This company is of Detroit, and its home since 1996 is the Detroit Opera House. Opera productions are returning to the Detroit Opera House after a two-year break due to COVID-19, and they are ready to welcome audiences back.Īccording to Board Chair Ethan Davidson, they are partnering with sevel opera companies over the next year, including the Metropolitan Opera. We want to take advantage of that recognition and add to it." “We are a Detroit-based company operating in Detroit, a city with a growing national and international recognition as an arts-focused city. "As we enter our second half-century, and with all the unique new productions emerging, our Board and Trustees decided that it was time for a change," Brown said in a statement. It's also part of a vision that Detroit Opera President and CEO Wayne Brown and Gary Wasserman, and Artistic Director Yuval Sharon, announced in spring 2020 that wanted to create a new standard for American opera that emphasized community, accessibility, risk-taking and collaboration. The change comes after 50 years as the Michigan Opera Theatre and is in conjunction with the premiere of La bohème at the Detroit Opera House on April 2.
