The Met Opera’s Frida y Diego proves visually stunning, musically thrilling

Cruz’ Spanish-language libretto is terrific, thematically rich and evocative, with flashes of humor scattered throughout.

The words “gorgeous” and “stunning” come up a lot in my notes for the Metropolitan Opera’s new production of El último sueño de Frida y Diego, an opera by Gabriela Lena Frank based on a libretto by Nilo Cruz. Director and choreographer Deborah Colker and her design team have created visually vibrant worlds for Frank and Cruz’ equally vibrant reverse-Eurydice story to inhabit.

Yuval Sharon’s debut production featured an astonishing performance by the soprano Lise Davidsen. It is the event of the season.

And, really, the Met needed a show like this “Tristan.” The gold standard for grand opera in the United States...An artistic and box office success, it’s evidence of what the Met is capable of, and what’s now at stake.
