In Gershwin's Bess, Anne perseveres and navigates the competitive world of Juilliard, a failed marriage, and the racism that denies her access to traditional stages. George Gershwin's plans to write an opera starring all "Negroes" present an opportunity she can't afford to lose. From her first audition to opening night two years later, she becomes an integral part in the creative process, singing melodies and lyrics as Gershwin writes them. When Anne lands the role as the first "Bess," she challenges the famous composer to see her vision for the character-a daring act that reshapes the story itself.
Gershwin's Bess is a vivid portrait of ambition, resilience, and artistry. It is the story of a woman who dares to dream, whose voice invokes history, and whose passion helps define an American masterpiece, Porgy and Bess.
"...profoundly moving..."
- Brittany Renee, operatic soprano
"...a remarkable Black woman singer's contribution to one of the most enduring operas in history..."
- Carol Jenkins, journalist, women's rights advocate
