SUMMARY:Gabriela Lena Frank / Libretto by Nilo Cruz's El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego at Highlands PAC
DESCRIPTION:PAC’s Live On Screen Series \nAmerican composer Gabriela Lena Frank makes her Met debut with her 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. 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. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met premiere of Frank’s opera\, a “confident\, richly imagined score” (The New Yorker) that “bursts with color and fresh individuality” (Los Angeles Times). \nThe vibrant new production\, taking enthusiastic inspiration from Frida and Diego’s paintings\, is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker\, following her remarkable 2024 debut staging of Ainadamar.

SUMMARY:HCFF | Trail Mix + Meet the Director at The Village Green
DESCRIPTION:Trail Mix (Winner: Audience Choice Award) + Meet the Director at The Village Green \nThe 2025 Audience Choice Award winner will be shown at the PAC in Highlands and at the Village Green in Cashiers on Saturday\, June 20th! The director and filmmaker Glenn Sweitzer will be at both events to discuss the film and answer questions. \nThe 50-minute documentary follows a 2\,000-mile journey from Georgia to Maine along the Appalachian Trail. The film focuses on the “transformative power of nature\,” interviewing a diverse range of hikers—including military veterans with PTSD\, grieving widowers\, and troubled teens—who seek healing and clarity in the wilderness. \nThe film began as a project in May 2018 and was partially inspired by the story of Cheryl Strayed’s book/movie Wild. What was initially curiosity became a strong pull\, a “calling” to go into the woods and interview some of the hikers and discover the source of their healing and transformation.
