Porgy and Bess is based on the DuBose Heyward novel that tells the moving story of Porgy and the residents of Charleston's famed Catfish Row. It later became a succesful play called PORGY and served as the inspiration for the collaboration between George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin which eventually became the boundary breaking musical drama Porgy and Bess. Recognized as an American masterpiece, the story entwines pride, prejudice, pathos and passion through a jazz and blues influenced score. Originally billed as a folk opera, Porgy and Bess introduced classic Gershwin songs like "Summertime," "I Got Plenty O'Nuttin'," and "It Ain't Necessarily So," as well as magnificent and enthralling choruses that stunned music and drama critics alike at its premiere in 1935.
