Two officers, convinced all women are fickle in love, hatch a plan to switch places and woo each other’s fiancées in disguise — but the women know exactly what they’re up to from the start. Hilarity and dazzling arias ensue in a 1930s-era seaside country club, where frothy costumes and splashy sets belie an undercurrent of distrust and deception on par with a binge-worthy reality show.

On the Day of the Dead, Mexican artist Frida Kahlo crosses over from the underworld for 24 short hours with Diego Rivera, who remains in the living world, alone and grieving her loss. Lyric Opera of Chicago brings the legendary marriage — and revolutionary art — of Frida and Diego to the stage with vivid colors, surrealist touches, and lush, evocative music sung in Spanish and inspired by Mexican folk music traditions.
