American composer Gabriela Lena Frank makes her Met debut with her first opera, a magical-realist portrait of Mexico’s painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Nilo Cruz. Fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Euridice myth, the story depicts Frida, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead and reuniting with Diego, portrayed by baritone Carlos Álvarez. The famously feuding pair briefly relive their tumultuous love, embracing both the passion and the pain before bidding the land of the living a final farewell. The vibrant new production, taking enthusiastic inspiration from Frida and Diego’s paintings, is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker, following her remarkable 2024 debut staging of Ainadamar.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for attending El Ultimo Sueno de Frida y Diego at the Met?

A: There isn't a strict age limit for attending the performance, but it's recommended for ages 12 and up due to some thematic material. It's a great way to introduce teens to opera, especially if they're into art or history! Just make sure they can sit through a performance, which can last a bit over two hours.

Q: What should I wear to the Metropolitan Opera House for this performance?

A: The Met has a chic vibe, so it's best to dress up a bit! For this opera, I’d recommend semi-formal attire—think nice dresses or slacks and a blazer. You'll definitely see a range of outfits, but it’s fun to dress up for a night at the opera!

Q: How does parking work around the Metropolitan Opera House?

A: Parking can be tricky around the Met, especially on performance nights! I suggest using a garage nearby or taking public transit. The 66th Street subway stop is close, and there are usually lots around Lincoln Center. Just be ready for some traffic if you drive!
