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 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

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 Nilo Cruz, 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.

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: laopera.org/community/oper…

What's the very last thing you want to hear in a Barber's chair? 'Uh oh.' Or in Patrick Carfizzi'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!

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.
