Great Performances at the Met: El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego

Still from Great Performances S54E02

Summary

American composer Gabriela Lena Frank makes her Met debut with her first opera, a magical-realist portrait of painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. With a libretto by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Nilo Cruz, the opera is fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth.
