Between Underworld and Memory: Dramaturgy with Bright Outlines

The production tells a poetic inversion of the Orpheus myth: Frida returns on Día de los Muertos to meet Diego one last time. The dramaturgy condenses intimate moments and iconic imagery into scenic tableaux that breathe like paintings.

Acting Art in the Opera: Voices that Paint Stories

With Isabel Leonard as Frida and Carlos Álvarez as Diego, the voices create psychological precision. Vocal color palette, articulated phrases, and stage-ready gestures elicit audience reactions ranging from silent reverence to spontaneous applause.

Sonic Colors and Rhythm: The Music of Gabriela Lena Frank

Yannick Nézet-Séguin unfolds an orchestral image that combines indigenous echoes, Latin American rhythms, and modern orchestral colors. The score shimmers in a chamber music style and bursts into powerful tutti – an acoustic journey with clear motivational architecture.

Staging and Imagery

Deborah Colker's direction choreographs memory, desire, and farewell. The set and costumes quote the color worlds of Kahlo and Rivera, while precise lighting moods open spaces: from a cold underworld to the warm glow of Mexican altars.

Cinema as Opera House: Technology that Creates Proximity

Thanks to a large screen, detailed images, and rich sound, the MET stage comes close. Close-ups reveal masks, fabric textures, and hand sweat on the brush – details that are easily missed from the orchestra. Thus, a unique theater experience emerges in the cinema hall.
