Dutch National Ballet, the largest dance company in the Netherlands, concludes the 20th season of Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at The Music Center with the U.S. premiere of “Frida,” from July 14-16. An homage to famed Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, the work’s choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa and composer Peter Salem weave Kahlo’s complex and colorful life into a rich work that exalts the global icon as one of the most intriguing artists of the 20th century.

Dutch National Ballet’s residency includes The Music Center’s Dance in Focus Film Festival: REFLECTIONS, presented by The Music Center in association with Dance Camera West; a trio of master classes for high school and college dancers taught by Ochoa herself on July 5-7; and a pre-show talk on Jerry Moss Plaza at The Music Center with Dutch National Ballet’s artistic director Ted Brandsen prior to the Sunday matinee performance.

“The 20th season of Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at The Music Center has been nothing short of exhilarating, and ‘Frida’ is the consummate finale,” said Rachel S. Moore, president and CEO of The Music Center. “We are thrilled to partner with Dutch National Ballet for the U.S. premiere of this highly anticipated work that will resonate among Frida Kahlo enthusiasts as well as those interested in learning more about her life and focus.”

Dutch National Ballet has developed, produced and presented ballet over the past 60 years at the highest international level, aiming to reach a wider public and bring today’s audiences into contact with the beauty and passion of the art form.
