About

El Ultimo Sueno de Frida y Diego Tickets: Your Complete Guide

El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego is a contemporary opera rooted in mesmerizing realism, reimagining the final connection between artists *Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Composer Gabriela Lena Frank and librettist Nilo Cruz* draw inspiration from the Day of the Dead, exploring memory, art, and reconciliation. Frank’s score moves between luminous textures and driving rhythmic passages, echoing Mexican musical traditions without imitation. Cruz’s libretto, influenced by the Orpheus myth, positions Frida’s return to the living world as an emotional reckoning rather than a romantic resolution. This new Met production deepens the opera’s visual language, using saturated color, movement, and surreal stagecraft to evoke the painters’ imaginative worlds.

The Story

On the Day of the Dead, Frida Kahlo is summoned from the underworld after refusing to return to life for many years. She agrees only because Diego Rivera longs to see her once more. As they reunite, memories of their complicated partnership unfold through vivid tableaux shaped by art and grief. Their meeting reveals affection, distance, and the weight of legacy, leading Frida to consider whether love is enough to keep her in the living world.
