Return to the golden era of show business with the Lyric Opera's stunning production of depression-era classic Porgy and Bess, directed by Francesca Zambello and conducted by David Charles Abell. Written in 1935 by iconic Tin Pan Alley duo George and Ira Gershwin, the Great American Opera is packed to the rafters with celebrated standards including perennial classic 'Summertime', 'It Ain't Necessarily So' and 'Bess, You Is My Woman Now'.

Shining bright amongst the stars of 21st century opera, American diva Joyce DiDonato and her resplendent mezzo-soprano vocals have reigned supreme in the upper echelons of the art form ever since her professional debut in Tod Machover's Resurrection with the Houston Grand Opera in 1999. The Grammy-winning performer enchants wherever she performs, don't miss her live!
