SUMMARY:Performing as Undertaker in Porgy and Bess by the George and Ira Gershwin and DuBose Heyward / Washington National Opera
DESCRIPTION:WNO revival\nLove shines a light into the blues.\nIt’s “summertime\, and the livin’ is easy” in Catfish Row\, a working-class fishing town in South Carolina. When a murder shakes the community and tempts Bess to return to her drug-filled past\, Porgy becomes her unlikely refuge. As a hurricane descends and Bess’ violent old flame returns\, she’ll find herself torn between Porgy’s steadfast love and the demons that tempt her. \nArtistic Director Francesca Zambello’s adaptation of Gershwin’s landmark “folk opera” returns after playing to critical acclaim across renowned opera stages. Often considered the first great American opera\, Porgy and Bess melds jazz\, gospel\, and folk styles. A new generation of talented singers assembles to take on Gershwin’s beloved music\, from the gentle duet “Bess\, You Is My Woman Now” to the instantly recognizable “Summertime” lullaby. \nThemes of community resilience\, acceptance\, and redemption weave through this poignant story\, ultimately asking if even the most unwavering love can drive out darkness. – Washington National Opera
