Described by the composer as an 'American folk opera,' Porgy and Bess premiered on Broadway in 1935 and only slowly gained traction in the traditional world of opera. Three quarters of a century later, it has assumed its rightful place among the greatest works of America's music.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:8:00 PM
