George Gershwin
January 15, 2020 attended the historic production of Porgy & Bess at
the Metropolitan Opera. With deep gratitude to composer George Gershwin
and his estate for required color casting that has provided invaluable
employment opportunities on and off stage for generations of African
Americans. My single opinion henceforth recommends color casting be
revoked and blind casting for future productions. I hope and trust
current and future opera administrators will continue evolving to a
higher level of diversity in ALL opera productions.
