In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the trend has been toward productions with greater fidelity to Gershwin's original intentions, though smaller-scale productions also continue to be mounted. Some of the songs in the opera, such as " Summertime", became popular and are frequently recorded. In the years following Gershwin's death, Porgy and Bess was adapted for smaller-scale performances. The opera plot generally follows the stage play. It deals with his attempts to rescue Bess from the clutches of Crown, her violent and possessive lover, and Sportin' Life, her drug dealer. The libretto of Porgy and Bess tells the story of Porgy, a disabled black street beggar living in the slums of Charleston. A 1976 Houston Grand Opera production gained it a renewed popularity after languishing in the doldrums of the 1960s and early 1970s, and it is now one of the best known and most frequently performed operas. It featured a cast of classically trained African-American singers-a daring artistic choice at the time. Porgy and Bess was first performed in Boston on September 30, 1935, before it moved to Broadway in New York City. It was adapted from Dorothy Heyward and DuBose Heyward's play Porgy, itself an adaptation of DuBose Heyward's 1925 novel of the same name.
