Porgy and Bess in Concert

Opera Pacific presents a full concert version of Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess during the opening celebration for the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, which is part of the Orange County Performing Arts Center’s expansion.

George Gershwin’s masterpiece gives Opera Pacific’s audience the first chance to see and hear an operatic performance in the new space. Porgy and Bess contains some of the greatest American songs ever composed, including, “Summertime”, “I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin”, “Bess, You is My Woman Now”,” It Ain’t Necessarily So” and “I Loves You, Porgy.” Angela Brown performs the role of Bess.
