"Summertime," "I Got Plenty o' Nuttin'" and "It Ain't Necessarily So" -- George Gershwin miraculously melded classical music, popular song, jazz, blues and spirituals in this quintessentially American masterpiece that tells the poingnant story of a crippled beggar, the headstrong woman he loves, and the community that sustains them both.

General Director David Gockley, whose association with Porgy and Bess has restored it to a mainstay of the operatic repertoire, presents Francesca Zambello's critically acclaimed production. Allen Rich of LA Weekly calls her staging "by some distance, the finest and most enjoyable of the couple of dozen productions I have attended of Porgy and Bess."
