Opera is a dramatic theatre art where the story and emotions are expressed through vocal and instrumental music, lyrics, acting, costumes, and scenery.



• “No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible.” ~ W. H Auden
• “Music - opera particularly - is a process which is endurable or successful only if it is achieved by people who love to collaborate.” ~ Sarah Caldwell
• “Opera, next to Gothic architecture, is one of the strangest inventions of Western man. It could not have been foreseen by any logical process.” ~ Sir Kenneth Clark
• “People are wrong when they say opera is not what it used to be. It is what it used to be. That is what's wrong with it.” ~ Noel Coward
• “In opera, there is always too much singing.” ~ Claude Debussy
• “Opera in English is, in the main, just about as sensible as baseball in Italian.” ~ H. L. Mencken
• “Of all the noises known to man, opera is the most expensive.” Molière
• “Going to the opera, like getting drunk, is a sin that carries its own punishment with it.” ~ Hannah More
• “One can't judge Wagner's opera Lohengrin after a first hearing, and I certainly don't intend to hear it a second time.” Gioachino Rossini

The 1935 George Gershwin opera Porgy and Bess is based on a novel by South Carolina author DuBose Heyward, and a play of the same name, cowritten with his wife Dorothy.

Leontyne Price sang the part of Bess, and Maya Angelou performed the part of Ruby, in 1952. Simon Estes sang the part of Porgy in the 1985 Metropolitan staging of the opera. The 1959 film version was edited into a musical rather than an opera.

The most popular song from Porgy and Bess is “Summertime”, which has become a jazz standard - Summertime, and the livin' is easy...
