Presented for the first time in Lyric Opera history, Porgy and Bess is the essential American opera. The source of some of the twentieth century’s most beloved songs — including “Summertime” — this jazzy Gershwin score is unforgettable. The opera paints a vivid picture of life in the Charleston neighborhood Catfish Row, where a poignant “opposites attract” romance unfolds alongside a powerful portrait of a community that unites in the face of tragedy and triumph.
