On May 30, the Metropolitan Opera's 2025-26 Live in HD season ends with a live broadcast of American composer Gabriela Lena Frank's first opera, a magical realist portrait of Mexican painter couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with a libretto by Pulitzer Prize winner Nilo Cruz. The story is a reversal of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth: Frida, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, leaves the underworld on the Day of the Dead and meets Diego, portrayed by baritone Carlos Álvarez. The famous couple briefly relive their turbulent love affair, embracing passion and pain before finally bidding farewell to the land of the living. Music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met premiere production of Frank's opera, a “confident, imaginative score” (The New Yorker) that “bursts with color and fresh individuality” (Los Angeles Times). The lively new production, enthusiastically inspired by the paintings of Frida and Diego, was directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker. This live cinema broadcast is part of the Met's award-winning Live in HD series, which brings opera to cinemas around the world.
