Not pictured: Our audible gasps seeing this stunning set for the first time 🤩 Here are your first glimpses of #LAOFrida, which is set to be a feat for the eyes and ears. Have you saved your seat yet for Gabriela Lena Frank & Nilo Cruz's operatic masterpiece?

When preparing to step into Frida Kahlo's shoes, Daniela Mack looked to the Mexican icon's diaries for a deeply personal perspective into her joys, pains, words, and art. Watch to find out what our star of #LAOFrida learned on her journey to the stage.

What's the very last thing you want to hear in a Barber's chair? "Uh oh." Or in @patrickcarfizzi's case, a very loud gasp... Help us send all the "toi's" to Patrick as he takes the stage as Dr. Bartolo in the final two performances #LAOBarber, starting tonight!

Today, we honor the heroism & courage of both our veterans and active military. LAO Connects is proud to work with Mindful Veteran Project to provide our military heroes with attendance opportunities throughout the season. Learn more about Veterans Circle: laopera.org/community/oper…

In honor of today's final #LAOBarber performance, we have one last video of our "Haircut Hall of Shame" series with Joel Balzun. Strap in - this one is a millennial doozy. Shoutout to Joel's mom, Carla Balzun, for holding onto the photographic evidence and sharing it with us 😉

That feeling when we're four days from opening night 🙌 Our final #LAOFrida rehearsal is tomorrow morning, which means it's time for our famous Instagram takeover. Second Villager & Young Man, Anthony Leon (far left), will give us a peek at the backstage fun. 📸 : Cory Weaver

In celebration of themes of Dia de Los Muertos throughout #LAOFrida, we commissioned a (jaw-dropping) ofrenda that honors Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera, decorated by Oaxacan artist and altarist Aldo Cruz, which you can visit outside of the main doors of the DCP at each performance.

Two of Mexico's most iconic artists. One opera that paints a new portrait of their love like you've never seen before. Opening night of #LAOFrida was an experience we won't soon forget. Now we want to hear from you: What were your favorite moments from the evening?

"El último sueño de Frida y Diego" is sweeping through LA Opera with its lush vocals, sets, and costumes, described by our reviewer as like "a beguiling series of live-action paintings and murals with a soundtrack." Read the full review: sfcv.org/articles/revie… #SFCV #opera
