Jake in PORGY & BESS, Northern Ireland (1997)
Peter Klein presenting The New York production of PORGY & BESS by George Gershwin, DuBose and Dorothy Heyward and Ira Gershwin. Direction: Will Roberson. Conductor: John Lopiccolo.
“Great tunes and a cast to match.”
Rathcol, Belfast Telegraph, Northern Ireland 18 November 1997
“This Irish Premiere, at the Grand Opera House in Belfast, will surely be one of the highlights of a Belfast Festival which is already creating a stir. The production, which originated in New York is on a world tour. But any concerns that production standards would be sacrificed along the way were soon settled. This was a class production which burst into life from the opening moments of Gershwin’s magnificent score.”
Tom Collins, Irish News, 20 November 1997
