Join us and Capitol City Opera Company on February 18th, at 6:15 pm, for Dinner and a Diva: a night of delicious food and performances from George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess.
“Porgy and Bess is a renowned opera composed by George Gershwin, set in the impoverished African American community of Catfish Row in South Carolina, where a disabled beggar named Porgy falls in love with Bess, a woman trapped in a cycle of abuse by her violent lover, Crown, and the manipulative drug dealer, Sportin’ Life; despite their love, Bess is ultimately drawn back into her old life, leaving Porgy heartbroken, highlighting themes of societal struggles, love, and loss through its powerful jazz-infused music and deeply moving story.”
