Description
Pictures and videos

In the American composer and occasional pianist Gabriela Lena Frank’s 2022 magical-realist opera, the plot unfolds as an inverted Orpheus and Eurydice tale: on the Day of the Dead, Kahlo returns from the underworld to visit her husband for one final embrace, confrontation, and farewell. Conducted by music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin, a man committed to all things new, the production directed by Deborah Colker features the inexhaustibly imaginative vocal technique of the mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard and the distinguished baritone Carlos Álvarez in the respective title roles.
