Porgy and Bess

New Orleans Opera

New Orleans, LA

Hope Briggs: Serena

Bursting with some of the best melodies Gershwin ever penned – “Summertime,” “A Woman Is A Sometime Thing,” “I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin,’” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So” – this opera depicts a world not unlike that of New Orleans. The citizens of Catfish Row battle poverty, sickness, drugs, crime and hurricanes, and yet triumph through their faith, their sense of community and their love of life.  Tickets & Information.
