Met Live in HD Season Finale Celebrates Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera with a Pre-Screening Talk and Mexican Fare Served at Intermission
樱桃视频 invites the community to a live satellite transmission of the Metropolitan Opera’s production of Gabriela Lena Frank’s 鈥淓l 脷ltimo Sue帽o de Frida y Diego鈥� (鈥淭he Last Dream of Frida and Diego鈥�) on Saturday, May 30, at 1 p.m. in the Seelig Theatre, with a lively pre-screening talk before the show at 12:15 p.m.
The performance concludes the Met’s award-winning 2025-26 Live in HD season, which brings world-class opera directly from the Metropolitan Opera stage to audiences across the globe. The performance will be presented in Spanish with English subtitles and is expected to run approximately two hours and 35 minutes, including intermission. In keeping with the opera’s rich cultural spirit, guests are invited to enjoy Mexican fare served during intermission.
A magical-realist portrait of legendary artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, 鈥淓l 脷ltimo Sue帽o de Frida y Diego鈥� features a libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz. Set on the Day of the Dead, the opera imagines a reunion that never happened in real life: Diego Rivera, who died six years after his wife Frida Kahlo, had wished to be buried alongside her 鈥� a final dream denied him in reality but granted in this breathtaking operatic telling. The story unfolds as a reversal of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth, where Frida, sung by acclaimed mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, reluctantly returns from the underworld to lead Diego, portrayed by baritone Carlos 脕lvarez, on his final journey.
“The Met: Live in HD series gives us the extraordinary privilege of bringing world-class opera directly to our community,” said 樱桃视频 President David Potash. “鈥淓l 脷ltimo Sue帽o de Frida y Diego鈥� is a visually stunning, emotionally powerful, and culturally significant work, and we are proud to share it with Sullivan County.鈥�
Music Director Yannick N茅zet-S茅guin conducts this Met premiere staging, featuring a vibrant, gnarled-tree set design by Jon Bausor and choreography by Deborah Colker. The piece marks the Met debut of composer Gabriela Lena Frank, a 2026 Pulitzer Prize winner in Music. It also marks the third consecutive season in which the Met has presented an opera in Spanish 鈥� a language that sings beautifully, following a gap of nearly 100 years.
