Virginia Opera Plays Porgy And Bess

Virginia Opera will present 'Porgy and Bess' performed in English with English Supertitles with PETER MARK as conductor and GREG GANAKAS as stage director.

The production team includes George Gershwin, Dubose and Dorothy Heyward and Ira Gershwin.

Protect the one you love - Summertime in the south is gonna be a scorcher! All that spectacular dance and jazz move the lives and lore of Catfish Row where games and murder fill a tumultuous love triangle. Whose dice will come up snake eyes?
