Porgy and Bess

George Gershwin made history with Porgy and Bess: this “American folk opera” is the first musical drama set among people of color, on Catfish Row in the port city of Charleston. In the USA of the 1930s, which was characterized by racial discrimination, it took a lot of courage to choose such a subject. All the more so since Gershwin brought simple fishermen, the unemployed, and even drug addicts onto the stage here. Musically, he also showed a willingness to experiment, adding jazz elements, songs, and (self-invented) spirituals to the score. Authenticity was Gershwin’s top priority. Which is why he even took up residence near Charleston while working on the project in order to study in detail the dialect of the Gullah, the African Americans from the Low Country in South Carolina. This work is not to be missed in the summer of “Diversity”! Alan Gilbert will perform it in a semi-staged version with an all-Black ensemble led by Elizabeth Llewellyn and Morris Robinson in the title roles. The fabulous Golda Schultz will beguile with the famous Summertime, and hits like I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin’ and It Ain’t Necessarily So will also fill the air.

English

Mit Porgy and Bess schrieb George Gershwin Geschichte: Diese «American Folk Opera» ist das erste Musikdrama, das unter People of Color spielt, in der Catfish Row der Hafenstadt Charleston. In den USA der 1930er Jahre, die von rassistischer Diskriminierung geprägt waren, gehörte viel Mut dazu, ein solches Sujet zu wählen. Umso mehr, als Gershwin hier einfache Fischer, Arbeitslose und sogar Drogenabhängige auf die Bühne brachte. Musikalisch zeigte er sich ebenfalls experimentierfreudig und fügte jazzige Elemente, Songs und (selbst erfundene) Spirituals in die Partitur ein. Authentizität war für Gershwin das oberste Gebot. Weshalb er während der Arbeit sogar in der Nähe von Charleston Quartier bezog, um den Dialekt der Gullah, der Afroamerikaner*innen in South Carolina, genau zu studieren. Im «Diversity»-Sommer darf dieses Werk nicht fehlen! Alan Gilbert wird es mit einem rein schwarzen Ensemble um Elizabeth Llewellyn und Morris Robinson in den Titelrollen halbszenisch aufführen. Die famose Golda Schultz verzaubert mit dem berühmten Summertime, und natürlich erklingen auch Hits wie I Got Plenty o’Nuttin’ oder It Ain’t Necessarily So.
