Clayton Days: Picture Stories by Vik Muniz
In 1999, the Frick collaborated with artist Vik Muniz resulting in an exhibition of 65 photographs made on site and in the nearby environs of Pittsburgh. Clayton Days: Picture Stories by Vik Muniz, marked the Frick's first venture into working with a living artist, and resulted in a significant body of work. The Frick restages this exhibition to coincide with the regional focus on contemporary art during the Carnegie International. Since working with the Frick, Muniz has received international acclaim.

The Secret Gardener (La finta giardiniera)
In Mozart's delightful comedy, a Marchioness disguises herself as a lowly (but lovely) gardener in order to escape a lover's quarrel. The attendant confusions give rise to high hilarity and, of course, a happy ending. This beautiful, rarely-heard Mozart jewel will appeal to families with children as well as the Mozart aficionado.
