SUMMARY:Concert: El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego
DESCRIPTION:On May 30\, the Metropolitan Opera’s 2025–26 Live in HD season comes to a close with a live transmission of American composer Gabriela Lena Frank’s first opera\, a magical-realist portrait of Mexico’s painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera\, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Nilo Cruz. Fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth\, the story depicts Frida\, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard\, leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead and reuniting with Diego\, portrayed by baritone Carlos Álvarez. \nThe famously feuding pair briefly relive their tumultuous love\, embracing both the passion and the pain before bidding the land of the living a final farewell. Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met-premiere staging of Frank’s opera\, a “confident\, richly imagined score” (New Yorker) that “bursts with color and fresh individuality” (Los Angeles Times). The vibrant new production\, taking enthusiastic inspiration from Frida and Diego’s paintings\, is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker. \nLocal support for the Met: Live in HD series is provided by The Edward Hastings and Gino Barcone Trust.

SUMMARY:Concert: Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain
DESCRIPTION:The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain returns to the Lensic by popular demand. Formed in 1985 as the antidote to mindless pop\, egocentric rock\, and the indulgent bluster of the music business\, The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain donned black tuxedos and began giving ‘concerts’ in tiny rooms above old pubs. \nFour decades later\, they’re still thrilling audiences with their off-beat humor and four-stringed virtuosity. There are no drums\, pianos\, backing tracks\, guitars\, or banjos\, no pitch shifters or electronic trickery\, just an astonishing revelation of the rich palette of orchestration afforded by ukuleles and a menagerie of voices in a collision of post-punk performance and old classics.

SUMMARY:Concert: Christian McBride & Edgar Meyer
DESCRIPTION:The meeting of great minds usually happens behind closed doors\, but for two of the world’s foremost bassists—Christian McBride and Edgar Meyer—the collaboration proved so fruitful that a duo album\, But Who’s Gonna Play the Melody?\, exploring their collective backgrounds\, was born. \nNow the duo is hitting the road\, and we can’t wait to present them at the Lensic. The legendary bassists will meld McBride’s jazz and R&B fusion with Meyer’s bluegrass and classical sensibilities for what is sure to be an unforgettable performance of new compositions and timeless American standards.
