Porgy and Bess is George Gershwin’s landmark American folk opera, set in the tight-knit Black community of Catfish Row in Charleston, South Carolina. The story follows Porgy, a disabled beggar with an indomitable spirit, as he fights to build a life with Bess, a woman torn between tenderness, addiction, and the pull of the dangerous Crown and the slick Sportin’ Life. Blending classical music, jazz, blues, and spirituals, the score delivers timeless moments like Summertime, I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin’ and It Ain’t Necessarily So. At its heart, the work is about resilience, love, and a neighborhood’s shared hope in the face of hardship, told with soaring melody and unforgettable character.
