American composer Gabriela Lena Frank?s first opera, a magical-realist portrait of Mexico?s painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize?winning 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 N?zet-S?guin conducts the Met-premiere staging of Frank?s opera, a ?confident, richly imagined score? (The New Yorker) that ?bursts with color and fresh individuality? (Los Angeles Times).
