Treat your family to a timeless opera with Porgy and Bess tickets. This three-act folk opera is written by George Gershwin and based on Dorothy and DuBose Heyward’s play Porgy. Gershwin’s masterpiece has been reinvented several times since it was first performed in 1935.
This opera is set in the Catfish Row neighborhood of Charleston, South Carolina. The main characters are involved in a classic plot of death, love and heartbreak. It is an emotional journey that keeps you off balance until the final scene.
Despite not having traditional Broadway success, the show has had various runs all around the world. With each revival, parts of the original opera were lost, except for the music. The songs “Summertime” and “It Ain’t Necessarily” are two of the more popular songs from the opera. The music and emotions of this opera are what keep Porgy and Bess tickets in demand.
