Porgy and Bess Tickets

Porgy and Bess is George Gershwin’s groundbreaking American opera set in Catfish Row, a Black community in 1930s Charleston. It follows Porgy, a disabled beggar with a strong moral core, as he opens his home and heart to Bess, a woman fighting free of the brutal Crown and the slick temptations of Sportin’ Life. Their love story unfolds amid hurricanes, hardship, and the chorus of neighbors, voiced through unforgettable numbers like Summertime, I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin’ and It Ain’t Necessarily So. The score fuses jazz, blues, spirituals, and classical writing to create a vivid portrait of resilience, risk, and hope.
