Lyric Opera's Porgy and Bess

Feb. 28 - Mar. 8, 2026

Opera
  • Porgy and Bess

Presented for the first time in Lyric Opera history, Porgy and Bess is the essential American opera. The source of some of the twentieth century's most beloved songs—including “Summertime”—this jazzy Gershwin score is unforgettable. The opera paints a vivid picture of life in the Charleston neighborhood Catfish Row, where a poignant “opposites attract” romance unfolds alongside a powerful portrait of a community that unites in the face of tragedy and triumph.
