Bass-baritone Alfred Walker and soprano Brittany Renee headline one of the defining works of American music theatre. With its fusion of opera, jazz, and Broadway, the Gershwins’ enduring masterpiece features a number of tunes whose popularity has transcended the opera house, including the classics ‘Summertime’ and ‘It Ain’t Necessarily So.’ Kwamé Ryan conducts the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus in an all-star ensemble portraying the community of Catfish Row.
