Includes interviews with artists and creative team as bonus (29 mins) Recorded live in High Definition at the War Memorial Opera House, San Francisco, 2009
“I was initially concerned about the operatically trained voices enunciating the patois of the text while singing at a speaking tempo. Either they got better at it or I became accustomed to it. The many well-known songs (hard to think of them as arias) are framed by the action and sound spontaneous. The set, choreography and stage direction create a mise-en-scène that immediately draws us into Catfish Row. All in all, this is a performance of genuine stature and an important release.” –Wholenote, May 2014
This DVD is a document that beneath the surface testifies what all the fuss was about nearly forty (and eighty!) years ago, and will reward on repeated viewings both those who experience Porgy and Bess for the first time as an opera, and those who already have it in their hearts and ears. –Greg Hettmansberger, Madison Magazine
These are performances of grandeur, tenderness and wit, clothed in robust and beautiful vocalism…DeMain continues to be a masterful interpreter of this score, bringing out both its rhythmic ebullience and the vaunting artistic ambition that give the piece its flavor. –San Francisco Chronicle
