Frida & Catrina/ El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego | Gabriela Lena Frank | LA Opera Season 2023/ 24

Описание: This tense scene between Frida and Catrina has us on the edges of our seats every time we see it.

#LAOFrida A new portrait of Mexico's most iconic artists. Mexico’s most iconic artists (and infamously stormy lovers) leap off the canvas in this new musical portrait from Grammy Award-winning composer Gabriela Lena Frank and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz. When a desperate wish on Day of the Dead reunites Diego Rivera with his wife Frida Kahlo, he jumps at the chance to seek forgiveness. But Frida refuses to return to the world that caused her so much pain, until another departed soul inspires her to look back at the art (and the man) she once loved.
