On December 9, 2023, Grammy Award-winning composer Gabriela Lena Frank and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz will present a new musical portrait of Frida Khalo and Diego Rivera in Los Angeles.
In this tribute to one of history’s most pivotal love stories, Lina González-Granados leads a cast full of international talent, including Daniela Mack, Alfredo Daza and Ana Mara Martnez. A folklore-inspired score brings Frida and Diego’s love-hate saga to life through the artists’ own emblematic paintings.
When a desperate wish on the Day of the Dead reunites Diego Rivera with his wife, Frida Kahlo, he jumps at the chance to seek forgiveness. But Frida refuses to return to the world that caused her so much pain until another departed soul inspires her to look back at the art (and the man) she once loved.
Don’t miss out on the dazzling musical; there are only two last shows to catch: El Último Sueño de Frida and Diego, December 6 and December 9th. For performance and ticket details, click here.
