About El último sueño de Frida y Diego

How would you spend a single day reunited with lost love?

On the Day of the Dead, Mexican artist Frida Kahlo crosses over from the underworld for 24 short hours with Diego Rivera, who remains in the living world, alone and grieving her loss.

Lyric Opera of Chicago presents El último sueño de Frida y Diego, which had its critically acclaimed world premiere in 2022 and brings the legendary marriage — and revolutionary art — of Frida and Diego to the stage with vivid colors, surrealist touches, and lush, evocative music sung in Spanish and inspired by Mexican folk music traditions.

Director Lorena Maza and conductor Roberto Kalb invite audiences to join in the couple’s dreamlike journey through their memories of love, passion, and everything they created together.
