One of America’s favorite operas takes the big screen on
February 1. James Robinson’s stylish production transports audiences to Catfish
Row on the Charleston waterfront, vibrant with the music, dancing, emotion, and
heartbreak of its inhabitants. “If you’re going to stage Gershwin’s opera, this
is how,” raved the Guardian when the new production premiered in
London in 2018. David Robertson conducts a dynamic cast, featuring the
sympathetic duo of Eric Owens and Angel Blue in the title roles and an all-star
ensemble that includes Golda Schultz, Latonia Moore, Denyce Graves, Frederick
Ballentine, and Alfred Walker. This live cinema transmission is part of
the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to more
than 2,200 theaters in more than 70 countries worldwide.
