The Met Opera in HD: Porgy & Bess: Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award–winner Audra McDonald hosts this Encore in HD transmission of Gershwins’ folk-opera Porgy and Bess tells the story of disabled beggar Porgy, sung by Eric Owens, and his love for the drug-addicted Bess, portrayed by Angel Blue.

Infused with the timeless melodies of the much-loved classics “Summertime,” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now,” “I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin,” and “My Man’s Gone Now,” the new co-production with English National Opera and Dutch National Opera was hailed as a triumph at its premiere in London in 2018.
