See the Oscar-winning movie starring Salma Hayek. Then win tickets to experience the live opera when Opera Steamboat presents Frida on Aug. 9 & Aug. 16!

This film is a biopic of the bold and controversial life of artist Frida Kahlo. Set in Mexico City, this visually evocative film traces her lifelong, tempestuous relationship with her mentor, Diego Rivera, along with her illicit affairs with Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky and various women. Her forward-thinking artistic, political and sexual attitudes are explored as we witness a hard-drinking, passionate woman of the early 1900s, which earned an Oscar nomination for Salma Hayek. Both Frida the movie and Frida the opera are based on the book Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo by Hayden Herrara.

Movie attendees will be entered into a raffle for TWO tickets to the opera Frida on the night of your choice!
