The MET’s contemporary highlight of the 2025-2026 season centres on, arguably, art history’s most famous painter couple, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. 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.
The broadcast will be sung in the original language, and shown with Hungarian and English subtitles.
The ‘Metropolitan Opera Live in HD’ transmissions have been made possible through the cooperation of our partner, liveincinema.eu s.r.o.
