Porgy and Bess (Opera Musical)
1997 Australian  Production
Porgy and Bess is an opera, first performed in 1935, with music by George Gershwin, libretto by DuBose Heyward, and lyrics by Ira Gershwin and DuBose Heyward. It was based on DuBose Heyward’s novel Porgy and subsequent play of the same title, which he co-wrote with his wife Dorothy Heyward. All three works deal with African-American life in the fictitious Catfish Row (based on the area of Cabbage Row) in Charleston, South Carolina, in the early 1920s.
Originally conceived by George Gershwin as an “American folk opera”, Porgy and Bess premiered in New York in the fall of 1935 and featured an entire cast of classically trained African-American singers—a daring artistic choice at the time. Gershwin chose the African-American musician Eva Jessye as the choral director for the opera.
“Summertime” is the best-known piece from Porgy and Bess. Other well-remembered (and oft recorded) songs from the opera include “It Ain’t Necessarily So” and “I Got Plenty ‘o Nuttin’”. The opera is admired for Gershwin’s innovative synthesis of European orchestral techniques with American jazz and folk music idioms. Porgy and Bess tells the story of Porgy, a disabled black beggar living in the slums of Charleston, South Carolina. It deals with his attempts to rescue Bess from the clutches of Crown, her violent and possessive lover, and Sportin’ Life, the drug dealer. Where the earlier novel and stage-play differ, the opera generally follows the stage-play.
Starring: Stephen Finch, Brian R Gibson, Alvy Powell, Samuel Stevenson, Elizabeth Graham, LaRose Saxon, Jerris Cates, Karen Wilbanks, Cedric Cannon, Anne Fridal.

THIS IS ONE
of
endless
items! New & Used. I save EVERYthing, often buy things & receive gifts that I don't use, or find "treasures" to sell. I specialize in nothing! You might discover I have a treasure that I have no clue about, especially when it comes to antiques! Check back often, and please help me out if you know anything about an item I've listed!
*
I GET MY ITEMS FROM
anywhere and everywhere! Therefore I can NOT guarantee that all items are from a smoke free and/or pet free home.
*
I HAVE EXCELLENT FEEDBACK
and work hard to earn it
!! I try to get decent photos & will describe everything as accurately as possible, but I can make a mistake, I'm just a regular human! You're welcome &
encouraged
to ask questions if I miss something you'd like to know!  Please ALWAYS ask BEFORE bidding, not after!
*
ALL SALES ARE FINAL UNLESS
- I accidentally describe or ship the wrong item. Ask questions
before
bidding!
Clothes & Shoes may not be returned due to not fitting
!
*
PACKING
-
I RECYCLE
!
I use anything I can get for packing. Old boxes, new boxes, no boxes, shoe boxes! Bubble wrap, shredded paper,
I reuse all materials
! Please give me 5 Stars, not for it being pretty, but for trying to lower the shipping costs a bit, and for trying to be less wasteful by "
shipping green
"! Thanks! (
If it
needs
to be pretty, tell me in advance!!)
*
SHIPPING
- Rarely I may ship with a different service than specified. I ship every week
(Except from Dec.23rd to Jan.2nd, & the 1st 2 Weeks of May)
,
so you
should
receive your item within 1 to 2 weeks
after you've paid
. I keep the shipping cost to you as low as I can. The cost to ship continues to rise for all of us.
The biggest portion I can't control... the postage!!
I only charge my actual shipping & postage costs. When items say "free" shipping we all know it's in the price and not really free, it's just shown differently, it costs all of the same to ship.  So please just consider the
total price
you're paying for items you're comparing whether it shows the shipping separately or not.  THX!!
I just ask that you rate the 5 stars on
my
shipping
performance
and not the 2 things I can't control... cost of shipping or how long the shipping service takes to get your item to you.
(If it gets to be 2 weeks, please feel free to ask me to check on it for you, I'll be happy to!)
*
INTERNATIONAL
-
One item can often go 1st Class Intl?,
(usually less than priority),
multiple items are usually over 1st Class weight limit
(4lbs)
& have to go Priority. Ask for quote!
*
PAYMENT
-
Please just click the "Pay Now" button when you get the "You've Won" email,
it'll give you an invoice.
Please Pay right away, or Communicate about your payment right away, such as if
you're watching or bidding on other items that haven't ended yet so I can ship them together to save you on shipping cost.
*
FEEDBACK
*
-
Please
Leave Positive Feedback as soon as you get your item and are happy
so I know
!  Or,
tell me if there's anything more I need to do
!  I buy almost as much as I sell on eBay so I know both sides well. The seller is in the dark until they know if we've recv'd our item and are happy, or if there is something more the seller needs to do. The seller?s job is not done until we are happy with their service. Our part is not done until we give them positive feedback so they know they've done their job. Then the seller knows the transaction is complete and closes the transaction with their positive feedback in return.
Please base
my
feedback
only on
my
performance, not the performance of eBay, Pay Pal, or the Shipping Service.
