#Repost @articulatedvinyl ・・・ Porgy and Bess was an ahead-of-its-time opera composed by Gershwin, written by DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin and was adapted by another play named Porgy, based on Heyward's novel of the same name. The story is a tale of disabled black street beggar, Porgy, attempting to save Bess from her drug dealer, Sportin' Life. The first performance was in 1935 by classically trained African-American singers, which of course at the time, didn't receive the highest of public opinions. But times changed and the story kept being told and eventually gained the recognition it rightfully deserved with its latest iteration being in London in 2014. This recording is based off the 1952 cast, with Leontyne Price as Bess and William Warfield as Porgy. And here, we have Wonder Woman giving Superman the cold shoulder, because he waited all week to figure out a way to tell her Avengers Infinity War grossed as much in its first weekend as Justice League did in its entire run. Someone's in the dog house. And can I just say how cool of a name is McHenry Boatwright??? #gershwin #porgyandbess #leontyneprice #williamwarfield #opera #dccomics #wonderwoman #superman #mchenryboatwright #skitchhenderson
