He was poor, broken, and yet full of life. Porgy \u2013 a black beggar from the suburbs of Charleston \u2013 is in love with beautiful Bess, a woman torn between passion and longing for peace. Their story has become a symbol of humanity, courage and the yearning for freedom. In Porgy and Bess, one of the most important American operatic works, Gershwin merges European musical tradition with jazz, blues, spirituals and the folklore of the American South. A selection of the most famous scenes and arias, including the legendary Summertime, will be performed by the Jan\u00e1\u010dek Philharmonic Orchestra from Ostrava. Authentic voices will be lent by soloists of the Metropolitan Opera in New York and La Scala in Milan \u2014 all of African-American origin, in line with the ethical and artistic intention of the work. <\/p>\n\n
