Porgy and Bess

Released: 2002-03-20


The great Gershwin's only opera. And what an opera it is—poor Porgy wins beautiful Bess away from the murdering Crown, only to lose her to the gambler Sportin' Life and the vices of the big city. Featuring the triumphant return of Alvy Powell and Marquita Lister as Porgy and Bess. "An authentic American masterpiece." — The New York Times "Smart directing...simple, elegant production...stunningly performed...not to be missed — Opera News "Powerful, musically joyous ... too special to miss." - Daily News "Marquita Lister brings a big, lush voice and alluring beauty to the role of Bess," and Alvy Powell offers "warmth and integrity." - New York Times
