Porgy and Bess 75th Anniversary Trailer

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of George Gershwins enduring masterpiece, a new production of Porgy and Bess is being mounted-with the full approval of the Gershwin estate-by veteran opera producer Michael Capasso (General Director of New Yorks vibrant Dicapo Opera). Porgy and Bess, featuring a stellar cast and live orchestra, will be directed by renowned American Charles Randolph-Wright (writer and director of the film Mama I Want to Sing, to be released February 2010), conducted by Music Director Pacien Mazzagatti, and produced in association with Willette Murphy Klausner. With a new orchestration by Mr. Mazzagatti, brand-new sets designed by John Farrell, costumes by Ildikó Márta Debreczeni, and lighting by Susan Roth, Porgy and Bess kicks off its 32-U.S. city tour February 18, 2010 in Van Wert, Ohio.
