Porgy and Bess

Presented by Cincinnati Opera at Music Hall, Cincinnati OH

Jul 20 - 28 2019
Porgy and Bess

The Gershwins’ great American opera is filled with recognizable tunes and a touching story of love and perseverance in adversity. POWER OF HER! Our production was designed by internationally recognized stage director Francesca Zambello.

Rise up singing.

It was the biggest decision she’d ever made: She was coming clean. No more binges, no more waking up who-knows-where. He would be her happiness, now and forever. Morning time and evening time, he would be her strength.

Music by George Gershwin
Libretto by DuBose and Dorothy Heyward and Ira Gershwin
Sung in English with projected lyrics

POWER OF HER! Our Porgy and Bess production was designed by internationally recognized stage director Francesca Zambello, General Director of The Glimmerglass Festival and Artistic Director of The Washington National Opera.
