[…] almost every one of his concerts.The orchestra sounded awfully good for him and others, even with many, many substitutes in critical positions.

El último sueño de Frida y Diego
Gabriela Lena Frank (composer) and Nilo Cruz (librettist)'s El último sueño de Frida y DiegoPhoto by Cory Weaver, courtesy of SF OperaSan Francisco Opera's last presentation of the centennial season was Gabriela Lena Frank (composer) and Nilo Cruz (librettist)'s El último sueño de Frida y Diego, which has proven to be a big hit, and with good reason.

SFO has made a great effort here to cast this with native Spanish speakers from the Americas!
