A Member’s Field Guide to Frida and Diego: The Last Dream
In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, experience works by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera in a theatrical setting conceived by the set and co-costume designer of a new Metropolitan Opera production.
Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, two of Mexico’s most beloved icons of 20th-century art, were key participants in a movement to redefine Mexican culture and identity after the revolution of 1910–20—Rivera through monumental murals and Kahlo through intimate self-portraits. Though the artists, who were romantically involved from 1928 until Kahlo’s death in 1954, remain intertwined in the imaginations of many, they produced radically distinct bodies of work that brought each acclaim in their lifetimes and have had immeasurable impact on subsequent generations of artists and audiences alike.
