Carlos Alvarez as Diego Rivera and Isabel Leonard as Frida Kahlo perform on stage during a dress rehearsal of Gabriela Lena Frank's "El Ultimo Sueno de Frida y Diego" at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, on May 11, 2026. At the foot of a gnarled red tree, their silhouettes framed by blue curtains, Diego Rivera dies in Frida Kahlo's arms: the scene, which could be taken from one of the painter's canvases, brings to a close an opera dedicated to the tumultuous relationship between the two artists. "El Ultimo Sueno de Frida y Diego" ("The Last Dream of Frida and Diego"), sung in Spanish, premieres at the Metropolitan Opera in New York on May 14, ahead of an international cinema release on May 30.
