Gabriela Lena Frank

Tune in on Saturday, May 30 at 1 p.m. to hear 'El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego,' a new opera by Gabriela Lena Frank, which concludes The Metropolitan Opera's 2025-26 season of live matinee broadcasts.

Gabriela Lena Frank's first opera, in its Met debut, sees late Mexican painter Frida Kahlo leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead to be reunited with her husband and fellow artist Diego Rivera.

The composer created her own symphonic fable that weaves Andean cosmology with the natural world.
