Win 2 House Seats To The Gershwins' PORGY & BESS At The Metropolitan Opera, Plus A Backstage Tour

Bid to win 2 House seats to the Gershwin Musical, Porgy and Bess, at the Metropolitan Opera, plus a backstage tour!

You and a guest will be escorted backstage during intermission for a special "sneak peek" behind the scenes, then have the rare privilege of a backstage tour at one of the premiere opera houses in the world! Experience this gem of a musical including long beloved classics such as 'Summertime', 'I Got Plenty of Nothing' and 'It Ain't Necessarily So', Porgy and Bess is rich portrait of a forgotten time, but with themes as fresh as ever.

Following a stunning reception in London in 2018, James Robinson's new production of the landmark American classic is set to open the 2019/20 season, marking the first time the Gershwin masterpiece has appeared at the Met in 30 years. Starring Eric Owens and Angel Blue as the titular couple, this folk-inspired epic takes us into the heart of 1930's Charleston, where the residents of Catfish Row tell a story of fraught tensions, love, grief, and the search for redemption.
