“Summertime… and the livin’ is easy….” Bursting with classic songs that have permeated the worlds of jazz and pop, the great American opera returns in what was called a “joyous and compelling production” and “the hottest show in town” (Chicago Tribune) in its Lyric premiere.
Featuring beloved hits like “I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin’,” “Bess, You Is My Woman Now, ” “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” and “A Woman Is a Sometime Thing,” this theatrical and musical masterpiece is brought to vivid life by an all-star cast and the Lyric Opera Chorus and Orchestra.
