“Porgy and Bess” in San Francisco
Some friends of mine are singing in the current production of “Porgy and Bess” playing in San Francisco at The War Memorial Opera House this month. I just read a glowing review in The San Francisco Chronical. Looks like the ticket holders are in for a real treat.
I heard that the production is sold out. “Porgy and Bess” seems always to sell well. I hope that the singers are treated well.
