Mendieta’s groundbreaking work was largely autobiographical and focused on themes of feminism, life, identity, place, and belonging. Her art provides a wealth of inspiration to be illuminated through a musical program focusing on arrangements by some of today’s most influential female composers including Paola PrestiniSarah Kirkland Snider & Libby Larsen.

Director Alison Moritz, whom NPR has called, “A rising young star in the contemporary American opera field,” will fully stage this multimedia performance with a cast lead by Metropolitan Opera soprano and Broadway star Jennifer Zetlan, with internationally renowned soprano Emily Birsan and the sensational mezzo-soprano Annie Rosen. This celebration of art as rite and ritual will blur the line between classical music and performance art. RSVP here / Admission Free and Open to the Public; Complimentary Valet Service will be available. The performance will be followed by a “talk back” session with Dennis Scholl, President of Art Center/South Florida and the creative team of A Female Force.
