Replete with unforgettable music by George Gershwin, and lyrics by brother, Ira, Porgy & Bess is the quintessential American opera. It tells the story of Porgy, a crippled black man living in the slums of Charleston, South Carolina, and his attempts to free Bess from the clutches of her drug-dealing pimp. This controvesial, poignant drama features back-street gambling, deaths by hurricane, ominous buzzards, and achingly beautiful spirituals, creating a spectacular evening that will linger in your memory.
International star Gordon Hawkins and Indira Mahajan (our most beloved Musetta in years!) sing the title roles of George Gershwin’s 1935 American classic: Porgy & Bess. Conducted by one of the world’s most talented musicians, Maestro Wayne Marshall, and both staged and choreographed by Broadway veteran Hope Clarke; this uplifting revival will leave you humming, tapping and singing for years to come!
