DESCRIPTION:May 14 - Jun 5\, 2026\nIt’s El Día de Muertos\, and Frida Ka
 hlo is pulling a Eurydice in reverse\, rising from the underworld to commu
 ne with the grieving Diego Rivera. Doesn’t sound like much of a story\, 
 does it? Lorena Maza’s original production of El Último Sueño de Frida
  y Diego\, unveiled in San Diego in 2022 (with subsequent stops in San Fra
 nciso\, Los Angeles\, and last March in Chicago)\, landed like the splashi
 est oratorio ever. Yes\, the Kahloesque production design was out of this 
 world\, but of drama or suspense the Pulitzer Prize-winning librettist Nil
 o Cruz delivered nary a scintilla. Even so\, Gabriela Lena Frank’s wild 
 carnival of a score pulsed with vivid folkloric colors and rhythms we’ll
  be thrilled to hear again—especially in the context of a production tha
 t generates real dynamism of its own. That’s what we’re hoping for fro
 m this season’s reboot at the Metropolitan Opera\, orchestrated by the e
 lectric multihyphenate Deborah Colker. Highlights of Colker’s career to 
 date include the Cirque du Soleil extravaganza Ovo (2009)\, which she wrot
 e\, directed\, and choreographed\; the opening ceremony of the Summer Olym
 pics in her native Rio de Janeiro (2016)\, for which she wrangled 6\,000 d
 ancing volunteers\; and the Met premiere of Osvaldo Golijov’s magical-re
 alist Ainadamar (2024)\, with which Frida and Diego’s big night has more
  than a little in common. Isabel Leonard is Frida. Carlos Álvarez is Dieg
 o. The designer on point to channel their iconic dream worlds in décor an
 d dress is Jon Bausor\, who’d better be great. Yannick Nézet-Séguin co
 nducts.
