The ghost of Benjamin Franklin, the first US Postmaster General, is drawn into a thoroughly contemporary conflict among co-workers in a one-room post office about gay marriage, free speech, racial and class divides, and democracy itself in a provocative new opera by composer Laura Kaminsky (As One) and poet/librettist Elaine Sexton (Site Specific).
Produced by American Opera Projects, The Post Office makes its New York premiere featuring a cast of five singers and piano, and a set designed by Charles Renfro, a partner in the distinguished architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro with a long history of involvement in the performing arts.

The Met in HD: El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego
2026-05-30 13:00 - 15:50
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 Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz. 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.
