A Woman Is A Sometime Thing

Last night, Brian and I went up to Logan (a delightful little town) to catch the Utah Festival Opera Company production of Porgy and Bess. We had front row seats, and I couldn't have been more impressed. I'm already a huge Gershwin fan, but I've never seen any productions of his work. But from the moment the curtain rose and Clara sang the first line of "Summertime," I knew we were in for a treat. It depicted a romantic slice of Depression-era black culture, and the music and cast were absolutely wonderful. If you ever get a chance to see (or hear) anything by Gershwin, don't hesitate.
