El Ultimo Sueno De Frida Y Diego at Orpheum Theatre

In this warm but also heartwrenching love story, the famous artist Diego Rivera only wants to do one thing before he dies – he wants to see his beloved deceased wife, Frida Khalo, once more. During Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead), Frida and Diego’s love soars through the painting - these incredible works provide viewers with a journey into their incredible passion and relationship. Grammy Award-winning artist Gabriela Lena Frank and Pulitzer Prize awardee Nilo Cruz bring the remarkable love story to life. Her tumultuous work remains some of today's most outstanding artworks, and director Lorena Maza wants to pay homage to her incredible life. "She painted her autobiography always. Her art was so personal. And I think the more personal, the more universal. She depicted herself completely as a woman, and also she had relationships with her own sex, and she was disabled. So she can represent the strength. She was never a victim. She dignified herself through her painting."

The opera is made possible by the cooperation with the San Francisco Opera, Forth Worth Opera, the Depauw University School of Music, and incredible support from the University of Texas Austin College of Fine Arts. The production by Opera Omaha brings in a group of amazing people. For starters, the esteemed director Maza brings this fantastic story to life. Meanwhile, conductor Ilyich Rivas will lead the grand symphony and provide the much-needed atmosphere to Frida and Diego’s universe. Top it all off with a remarkable and talented cast comprising singers Stephanie Sanchez as Frida, Levi Hernandez as Diego, Laura Leon as Catarina, and Caesar Aguilar as Leonardo.

Of course, a world-class opera like El Ultimo Sueno De Frida Y Diego will need an equally outstanding venue to host such a fantastic extravaganza.
