Η αθάνατη όπερα Πόργκι και Μπες του Γκέρσουιν επιστρέφει για πρώτη φορά μετά το 1990, σε νέα παραγωγή, με τη σκηνοθεσία του James Robinson, που κάνει το ντεμπούτο του στη Met. Η «λαϊκή όπερα της Αμερικής», όπως την είχαν βαφτίσει οι δημιουργοί της, διηγείται την ιστορία του ανάπηρου ζητιάνου Πόργκι, που ερμηνεύει ο Eric Owens, και της αγαπημένης του και ναρκομανούς Μπες, που ερμηνεύει η Angel Blue. Ο David Robertson διευθύνει ένα λαμπερό σύνολο ερμηνευτών, που περιλαμβάνει τον Donovan Singletary στον ρόλο του ψαρά Τζέικ, την Golda Schultz στον ρόλο της γυναίκας του Κλάρα, τη Latonia Moore ως πενθούσα χήρα Σερένα, τον Frederick Ballentine ως τον έμπορο ναρκωτικών Sportin’ Life, τον Alfred Walker στον ρόλο του χοντροκομμένου λιμενεργάτη Κράουν και την Denyce Graves στον ρόλο της Μαρίας, μητέρας του λόχου της πόλης και ιδιοκτήτριας του τοπικού μαγειρείου. Γεμάτη με πασίγνωστες μελωδίες όπως τα αγαπημένα “Summertime,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now,” “I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin,” και το “My Man’s Gone Now,” η νέα συμπαραγωγή με την English National Opera και την Dutch National Opera γνώρισε θριαμβευτική υποδοχή στην πρεμιέρα της φέτος στο Λονδίνο.

Ελληνικά

George Gershwin’s remarkable opera Porgy and Bess, returns for the first time since 1990 in a new production, directed by James Robinson, which is debuting at the Met. An “American folk opera”, as its creators styled it, it tells the story of the crippled beggar Porgy, here played by Eric Owens, and his beloved Bess, a drug addict played by Angel Blue. David Robertson conducts a brilliant group of performers, who include Donovan Singletary in the role of the fisherman Jake, Golda Schultz as his wife Clara, Latonia Moore as the grieving widow Serena, Frederick Ballentine as the drug dealer Sportin’ Life, Alfred Walker in the role of the muscular stevedore Crown and Denyce Graves as Maria, matriarch of the town and owner of a local cookshop. Packed with well-known tunes such as the eternal favourites Summertime, It Ain’t Necessarily So, Bess, You Is My Woman Now, I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin and My Man’s Gone Now, this new co-production with the English National Opera and the Dutch National Opera was a triumphant hit when it premiered this season in London.
