My first opera!!! El Ultimo Sueno de Frida y Diego was streamed live today at the theater in town! It was so cool! Apparently I do not know much about Frida so I'm going to be reading a lot more about her. Really cool production though. It was a reverse Orpheus & Eurydice situation where Frida comes back to life just long enough to escort her dying, scumbag husband to the afterlife. Loved the floor opening up and rotting skeletons crawling through it. Way more funny bits than I expected from an opera. Frida's actress was incredible. The costumes were gorgeous. There was a tree whose roots were veins that kept getting dropped into scenes. Frida doesn't actually want to see Diego, or be alive again, and only goes back so she can paint.
