ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The documentary Flicka follows Frederica von Stade’s remarkable journey in the years following her retirement from a legendary opera career. Along the way we learn that Flicka is an extraordinary artist and inspirational humanitarian, giving countless hours and energy to her causes, working to bring both musical training to low-income, underprivileged students and the joy of music to the lives of unhoused people. Flicka reflects on her life as a child, mother and singer, and we learn about her through the experiences of colleagues Renée Fleming, Susan Graham and Jake Heggie and in conversations with her family. In archival footage of performances from stages around the world, we celebrate her talent as one of the best mezzo-sopranos in the repertoire. During the journey, we try to answer the question, “Why does everyone want to be in the room with Flicka?” Quickly one realizes it’s because, from family to friends, colleagues to opera fans, and those whose lives she touches in her community, all feel she is a hero, friend and mentor.
