  • Met Opera poster for their production of El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego.

    El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego

    Pollak Theatre

    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 Euridice 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.

    $23 (general public); $21 (seniors), $10 (child) and $5 (Monmouth U. Students)

    Candlelight concerts bring the magic of a live, multi-sensory musical experience to awe-inspiring locations like never seen before in Long Branch. This concert series was created with the intention of democratizing access to classical music, and the space and performers are illuminated by thousands of candles to create a truly magical experience. The String Quartet has a tentative program that includes works such as Bagatelle No. 25 en A menor: Für Elise and Las Bodas de Fígaro, K. 492: Obertura, and many more.
