The Last Dream of Frida and Diego
El Ultimo Sueno de Frida y Diego
June 25 & 30, 2023
I was always infatuated by Frida. Her art, her life, her colorful fashions, her love life and her strength and determination fascinated me.
Journey through this bold world of desire and release in a pioneering new opera by Bay Area composer Gabriela Lena Frank and the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz. It’s been three years since she passed.
Now on the Day of the Dead in 1957, a lonely, ailing Diego Rivera makes a final wish: to see his wife Frida Kahlo once more.
And the underworld heeds his call.
