An opera en español in which Frida Kahlo comes back from death on Día de los Mu***os and visits Diego Rivera, at his request as he's ready to die. Surrounded by Frida's colorful art in the set and costumes, she berates him for being a crappy partner, and he just wants to die, which he does at length in an operatic way.

While the story of El último sueño de Frida y Diego was a bit depressing, the use of color was brilliant; the chorus was strong; the amazing music included marimba, castanets, & church bells; and the Mexican folklore was refreshing to witness on the stage.
