Del gheto al cielo con los maestros cantores de Charleston |
 15 Nov 18 / Mundo Clásico (Spanish) |
A vital and sweeping ‘Porgy and Bess’ debuts in London |

ENO’s production restores the majestic brilliance of the full score |

Full of good things |

Fine ENO cast but as Catfish Row comes to the Coliseum perhaps Porgy and Bess is too ‘traditional’ |

With John Wilson, Gershwin's music is the winner at ENO's Porgy and Bess |

In some cases you will need to register with the publication concerned to be able to access their content, and for a few publications you will be limited to a specific number of articles you can read per week/month. |
Via GoogleSome publications operate a pay wall to access all their content, but do allow one-time free access to articles when they are linked to from a Google search. To access the review in this way you should click on the link on the Reviews page in the normal way. This will take you to a Google search results page, including the link to the desired review.
