Plenty o' Nuttinâ?? is a
song from the American
opera Porgy and Bess,
composed in 1935 by
George Gershwin
(1898-1937), to a
libretto by DuBose
Heyward and his brother
Ira Gershwin, after
Heywardâ??s novel Porgy -
a story about the love
between the crippled
negro beggar Porgy and
the girl Bess in the city
of Charleston in South
Carolina. The première -
not a huge success - took
place on 10 October 1935
in New York.With his
opera, Gershwin wanted to
gain recognition as a
composer of classical
music. Incidentally he
demanded that all parts
were sung by black
performers; only a few
unimportant parts,without
sung lyrics, were allowed
to be performed by white
actors. This rule still
applies: Gershwin has
stated in the terms of
his will that only black
people were allowed stage
the opera.Porgy and Bess
has become popular only
after Gershwinâ??s death.
In 1959 a wonderful film
was made; the soundtrack
won a Grammy Award. The
work is not very often
performed, possibly
because of the difficulty
of finding a whole cast
of black opera singers.
However, various pieces
from the opera are still
regularly performed in
numerous arrangements.
