American composer Gabriela Lena Franks first opera, a magical-realist portrait of Mexicos painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with libretto by Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright Nilo Cruz. Fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Euridice myth, the story depicts Frida, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead and reuniting with Diego, portrayed by baritone Carlos lvarez. The famously feuding pair briefly relive their tumultuous love, embracing both the passion and the pain before bidding the land of the living a final farewell. Music Director Yannick Nzet-Sguin conducts the Met-premiere staging of Franks opera, a confident, richly imagined score (The New Yorker) that bursts with color and fresh individuality (Los Angeles Times).
