"There is no sun without shadow, and it is essential to know the night."
- Albert Camus

General and Artistic Director Tomer Zvulun shares his insight into the state of The Atlanta Opera and how the company has remained committed to its values amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

From the extraordinary writing duo of George and Ira Gershwin comes a Depression-era masterpiece rich in timeless tunes, including “Summertime,” “I Got Plenty O’ Nuttin,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” and “Bess, You Is My Woman Now.” Considered the great American opera, Porgy and Bess was inspired by Charleston’s Cabbage Row, a 1920s community bound by faith, tears, music, and laughter. In a tender love story, Porgy and Bess seek harmony in the face of addiction and social injustice.
