Opera Theater presents imaginative 'Porgy and Bess'

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Opera Theater enjoyed one its greatest successes Saturday night when it presented an imaginative and persuasive staging of George Gershwin's opera 'Porgy and Bess' to a sold-out house at the Byham Theater, Downtown.
The cast, conductor and orchestra were excellent. The only major mistake was performing the three-hour, three-act opera with only one intermission to avoid overtime costs. The audience was stuck in its seats for Act 1, plus the first half of Act 2, nearly an hour and 45 minutes before the break."
