Which George Gershwin folk opera, set in a Black tenement community in 1920s Charleston, was first revived in Maplewood, New Jersey by producer Cheryl Crawford, and toured to Minneapolis in 1995 as part of the Houston Grand Opera's ten-city international tour?
Porgy and Bess premiered in 1935 with music by George Gershwin and libretto by DuBose Heyward. Cheryl Crawford's 1941 Maplewood revival trimmed the score and helped establish the work in the American canon after a lukewarm original run.
