It will inspire your senses!...
...with the unforgettable music of “Summertime”, “I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin”, “Bess, You is My Woman Now” and the poignant drama of a crippled Porgy who attempts to free Bess from the clutches of her drug-dealing man. For the first time ever on the Fresno Grand Opera stage, a world class cast featured on last year’s best-selling Decca recording of Porgy and Bess brings to life America’s greatest opera ever composed.
