Porgy & Bess

FSO & CFRT Collaboration


A Smashing Success!

Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra

Fayetteville Symhony Orchestra and Cape Fear Regional Theatre's Collaboration on Porgy & Bess met with Sensational Reviews!

Culminating a project that artistic director Bo Thorp called the most ambitious in the theatre's 46-year history, Cape Fear Regional Theatre opened its limited run of hte Gershwin folk opera to a near-capacity crowd. Featuring some stunning singing and staging and a stellar performance of the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra, the production can only be considered a success.” - Rodger Mullen, Fayetteville Observer (3.7.08)

Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra and Cape Fear Regional Theatre, cast and crew, local and international, all rose to the challenge in their collaboration for this highly-anticipated, long-fought-for production of a limited engagement of Gershwin's Porgy & Bess from March 6-9, 2008. A masterpiece of American Folk Opera with soaring vocals from a cast of approximately 85 members and soulful music infused with blues and jazz played expertly by over 50 members of the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra, took patrons on an emotional rollarcoaster. It was truly a sight to behold and a joy to hear. Seasoned professional FSO musicians and guest conductor David Wolff enticed the packed audiences through the plot with some deceptively simple yet musically deep and nuanced songs of this compelling opera. This was an extraordinary entertainment experience.
