When a desperate wish on Day of the Dead reunites Diego Rivera with his wife, Frida Kahlo, he jumps at the chance to seek forgiveness. But Frida refuses to return to the world that caused her so much pain, until another departed soul inspires her to look back at the art (and the man) she once loved. <a href="https://www.laopera.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">LA Opera</a> resident conductor <a href="https://www.linagonzalezgranados.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lina González-Granados</a> commands a cast packed with international talent, including <a href="http://www.danielamack.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Daniela Mack</a>, <a href="https://www.laopera.org/about-us/artists-2/cast-members/alfredo-daza/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Alfredo Daza</a>, and <a href="https://anamariamartinez.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ana María Martínez</a>, in this tribute to one of the most pivotal romances in history. The artists‘ own emblematic paintings merge with a folklore-inspired score to breathe new life into the love-hate saga of Frida and Diego. “On a purely visual level, Frida y Diego is an endless delight,” writes Joshua Kosman of the San Francisco Chronicle. “Frank’s score matches this bounty note for note and shade for shade.” <a href="https://visionsandvoices.usc.edu/eventdetails/?event_id=43668796833194&s_type=&s_genre=" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click here to learn more. </a>
