Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met premiere of Frank’s opera\, a “confident\, richly imagined score” (The New Yorker) that “bursts with color and fresh individuality” (Los Angeles Times). The vibrant new production\, taking enthusiastic inspiration from Frida and Diego’s paintings\, is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker\, following her remarkable 2024 debut staging of Ainadamar. \nEvent Note: This is an cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series\, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE 2025-26 MET OPERA LIVE IN HD SEASON TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCLICK IMAGE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE 2025-26 MET OPERA LIVE IN HD SEASON
