One of Americas favorite operas returns to the Met for the first time in nearly 30 years! The 2019-2020 season of The Met: Live in HD will continue Saturday, February 1 with The Gershwins PORGY AND BESS at 12:55 pm in the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre.

A complimentary 45 minute pre-opera lecture by Nunzio DeFilippis will be offered in the Studio Theatre Lobby two hours before the broadcast.

With music by George Gershwin and a libretto by DuBose and Dorothy Heyward and Ira Gershwin, Porgy and Bess explores the relationships among members of a close-knit community in 1920s South Carolina.

The score is infused with timeless melodies that have become standards of the Great American Songbook, including Summertime, It Aint Necessarily So, Bess, You Is My Woman Now, I Got Plenty o Nuttin, and My Mans Gone Now.Hailed as a triumph (Philadelphia Inquirer), this production is sheer sonic grandeur a vivid portrait (Wall Street Journal) and an authoritative and gripping splendid (New York Times) must-see.

David Robertson conducts a dynamic cast, featuring the sympathetic duo of Eric Owens and Angel Blue in the title roles and an all-star ensemble that includes Golda Schultz, Latonia Moore, Denyce Graves, Frederick Ballentine, Alfred Walker and Donovan Singletary.

The Met: Live in HD Season is locally sponsored by Viron Rondo Osteria. The Met: Live in HD Lecture Series is sponsored by Land Rover Hartford.
