Columbus Symphony Orchestra present a wonderful concert version of this Gerswhin classic.
First performed in 1935, the Gershwin's Porgy and Bess is now seen as a particular landmark of American theatre and is often referred to as the pair's masterpiece. Aiming to create a folk opera, Ira Gershwin took his inspiration from the spiritual and folk styles emanating from South Carolina at the time, and used these to frame a story of fraught tensions, love and the search for redemption.
Including long beloved classics such as 'Summertime', 'I Got Plenty of Nothing' and 'It Ain't Necessarily So', Porgy and Bess is rich portrait of a forgotten time, but with themes as fresh as ever.
In the tenements of Charleston, South Carolina, Catfish Row is home to a close knit, poverty-stricken community. Among them is the disabled beggar Porgy, who makes his way by pushing wares in his goat wagon. Into his path, the troublesome Bess is cast, after being thrown aside by her abusive, alcoholic lover, Crown.
Whilst immersing herself into Catfish Row, Bess and Porgy battle her demons, and try to save her from ruin. But the demons of her past are catching up with her.
Porgy and Bess was the first opera by an American composer to be included in La Scala's repertoire.
Performance date: 21 February 2015
