Summertime in Sydney... and Chief Conductor David Robertson has chosen Gershwin's masterpiece Porgy and Bess for our 2016 Opera in the Concert Hall. Blending jazz, Spiritual and musical theatre, this is a drama of enormous emotional power from a Broadway composer who was drawn to the epic world of grand opera. Its unforgettable characters sing such beloved showstoppers as 'Summertime', 'It ain't necessarily so', 'I got plenty o' nuthin' and 'Bess, you is my woman now'.

'Porgy and Bess has some of the greatest tunes that have ever been written, and with the profound understanding of how humans experience love and loss, joy and sadness, in a way that no opera has surpassed.' David Robertson
