Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met premiere of Frank’s opera, a “confident, richly imagined score.” The vibrant new production, taking enthusiastic inspiration from Frida and Diego’s paintings, is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker. Co-sponsored by the Shoreline Opera Club and Shoreline Village. This program is free and open to all.
