In Spring of 2026, Museum of Modern Art New York will be celebrating icons of Mexican Modernism Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in its first collaborative exhibition with the Metropolitan Opera. Frida and Diego: The Last Dream presents artwork by the pair in conjunction with the Met’s new opera, El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego.
