Yet black singers have sprung to prominence in its roles, among them Todd Duncan (the first Porgy), Leontyne Price and William Warfield (in a 1952 revival) and Clamma Dale (in the 1976 Houston Grand Opera production). Today an opera written by a white composer that depicted a group of fighting, wenching, gambling, dope-taking blacks is practically unimaginable. Yet Porgy travels...
