Live footage of us fighting over the last helpings on Thanksgiving 👀 We can't imagine a better way to wrap up the holiday weekend than with performance two of #LAOFrida. This tense scene between Frida and Catrina has us on the edges of our seats every time we see it.

"El último sueño de Frida y Diego" is sweeping through @LAOpera 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: https://t.co/06dvo9eUfs #SFCV #opera

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?

POV: You're getting ready for opening night of #LAOFrida with your opera buddy ✨ We cannot wait for you to see this awe-inspiring production, from composer @GabrielaLFrank & librettist @ncruzny, in just 24 hours. Do you have your Frida, Diego, and Catrina costumes ready to go?

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.

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

Estamos encantados de ver tantas caras nuevas para nuestras próximas funciones de #LAOFrida. Ana María Martínez, miembro de la familia de LA Opera desde hace muchos años (y nuestra Catrina), da una bienvenida especial a todos los novatos de la ópera que se unirán a nosotros.

We are so thrilled to see so many new faces in our audience for our upcoming performances of #LAOFrida. Watch as long-time member of the extended LA Opera family, and our Catrina, Ana Maria Martinez, extends a special welcome to all the opera newbies who will be joining us.

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 😉

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:

When preparing to step into Frida Kahlo's shoes, @dcecima 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.
