The lives and stormy romance of Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera have been well documented in books, movies and television. Now, their story gets a new twist: an opera that reunites the couple after her death.
“The Last Dream of Frida and Diego” premiered to critical acclaim last year in San Diego. Now it’s at the Los Angeles Opera. The colorful and elaborate costumes in the show are the work of award-winning costume designer Eloise Kazan. Kazan shared her process on “LA Times Today.”
The LA Opera’s production of “The Last Dream of Frida and Diego” runs through Dec. 9 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. You can buy tickets online here.
