What to expect
Gabriela Lena Frank’s first opera reaches Hong Kong cinemas as part of the Met’s 2025–26 Live in HD season, running 183 minutes with an intermission. Mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard and baritone Carlos Álvarez play Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, reunited on the Day of the Dead in a reverse-Orpheus myth by Pulitzer-winning librettist Nilo Cruz. Deborah Colker directs and choreographs a production drawn from the couple’s own paintings, while Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts. The New Yorker called the score “confident and imaginative”; the Los Angeles Times found it “colorful and distinctive.” Sung in Spanish with English subtitles — Chinese subtitles are typical for Hong Kong screenings — the opera suits adults and older teens drawn to contemporary classical music and Latin American visual culture. Opens 4 December 2026.
