PORGY AND BESS by George Gershwin, DuBose and Dorothy Heyward and Ira Gershwin

Central work and culmination of Gershwin's musical journey, Porgy and Bess , America's first true opera, draws its roots in the language of black Americans in the South. Recreating music from fox-trot, ragtime, mambo or syncopated rhythms, Gershwin infuses his score with a tempo, a variety and a sequence of dramatic situations that had made the success of his musical comedies. In the slums of Charleston, Porgy tries to rescue Bess from her husband's clutches. This real gem will be performed by the Cape Town Opera troupe (South Africa) in the production created in June 2012. From January 16 to 26, 201

PORGY AND BESS par George Gershwin, DuBose et Dorothy Heyward et Ira Gershwin

Oeuvre centrale et aboutissement du cheminement musical de Gershwin, Porgy and Bess, premier véritable opéra d'Amérique, puise à la source dans la langue des Noirs américains du Sud. Récréant une musique issue du fox-trot, du ragtime, du mambo ou des rythmes syncopés, Gershwin insuffle à sa partition un tempo, une variété et un enchaînement des situations dramatiques qui avaient fait le succès de ses comédies musicales. Dans les taudis de Charleston, Porgy tente de sauver Bess des griffes de son mari. Ce véritable bijou sera interprété par la troupe de l’Opéra de Cape Town (Afrique du sud) dans la production créée en juin 2012. Du 16 au 26 janvier 2014
