Asheville Bravo Concerts is bringing The Gershwins Porgy and Bess to Thomas Wolfe Auditorium on Saturday, March 20. Here’s the info:
Porgy & Bess will celebrate the production’s 75th Anniversary in 2010 and Living Arts’ brilliant updated production features a cast of 30 and a live orchestra that will prove to enthrall. Porgy & Bess melds classical music, popular song, jazz, blues and spirituals in this quintessentially American masterpiece that tells the poignant story of a crippled beggar, the headstrong woman he loves, and the community that sustains them both. Set in South Carolina in 1912 you will hear the classic arias: “I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin'”, “It Ain’t Necessarily So” and “Summertime.”
Or be the first person in the comment section of this post to correctly answer this question, and you’ll win two tickets to the big show: what Southern state serves as the setting for Porgy and Bess?
