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. 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. The 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.

Stop by the Wyoming State Museum in Cheyenne to view Wyoming Public Media's Wyoming 250 Photo Contest Exhibit. The opening reception on June 4th features a presentation by Marcia Hensley, a Wyoming author.

Marcia's presentation will explore her book:
“Staking Her Claim: Women Homesteading the West."
According to High Plains Press:

"Instead of talking about women’s rights, these frontier women grabbed the opportunity to become landowners by homesteading in the still wild west of the early 1900s. Here they tell their stories in their own words—through letters and articles of the time—of adventure, independence, foolhardiness, failure, success, and freedom. "

After the talk, guests can enjoy light refreshments and enjoy the contemporary photographic images that are part of the Wyoming Public Media 250 Travelling exhibit. (View the virtual exhibit online). The exhibit will travel around Wyoming throughout 2026. Stop by to pick up a free calendar! All are welcome.

Free and open to the public, the talk starts at 6 PM in the Wyoming State Museum in Cheyenne.

* * This project is funded in part by the Wyoming Semiquincentennial grant from the Wyoming State Parks and Cultural Resources office. * *
