Lyric Opera of Chicago Music Director Sir Andrew Davis calls Porgy and Bess “the great American opera.”

With its sprawling depiction of the doomed lovers Porgy and struggling drug addict Bess and their colorful home on Catfish Row, George Gershwin’s 1935 work is bursting with some of Gershwin’s most beloved music.

The opera’s opener, “Summertime,” has been covered more than 25,000 times.

Bass-baritone Eric Owens stars as the goodhearted Porgy, a man who is disabled but strong and courageous. An esteemed interpreter of classic works and a champion of new Jermaine Smith as Sportin’ Life music, Owens is and Adina Aaron as Bess equally at home in orchestral, recital, and operatic performances.

He sees Porgy as melding vulnerability, strength, and ultimately anger. “There is a naiveté in there as well as goodness.”

Owens’s favorite musical moment in the show is the act three trio (“Oh Bess, oh where’s my Bess?”) that Porgy sings with Maria and Serena after he learns that Bess has run off with the smooth-talking, drug-dealing Sportin’ Life.

“I equate it with suspension of time, this pouring out of his soul,” says Owens. “It’s more painful now for him, having experienced love. He didn’t know what he was missing before.”

In this production Porgy uses a crutch to move around instead of the usual cart. But with cart or crutch, Owens “spends a lot of energy just trying to get around the stage. In other situations you wouldn’t be expending that amount of energy.”

Plus, the role itself gets more demanding as the evening goes on: “The trio at the end is unrelentingly high. You have to be really careful of that so you don’t blow it out there, because there’s more singing that you have to do.”

How does he handle it? “I try to do mostly cardio to get my body used to that. You also try to breathe slowly and hold it out a while as you exhale.”

During his appearance as Alberich in Das Rheingold at the Metropolitan Opera, Owens’s heart rate clocked in at 145 beats per minute—the target heart rate for a strenuous cardio workout.

Alberto Nepomuceno was a dominant figure of Brazilian music in the second part of the 19th century and into the 20th until the arrival of Villa-Lobos.

Oliver Sacks tells the story of an amnesiac whose love for his wife and music transcend his seven-second memory.

This month on WTIU television The Bomb Tuesday, July 28 at 8pm Uranium – Twisting the Dragon’s Tail Tuesday and Wednesday, July 28-29 at 10pm On the 70th anniversary of the dawn of the nuclear age, WTIU presents two new thoughtprovoking documentaries.

The Bomb shows how America developed the nuclear bomb and how the bomb continues to loom large in our lives.

Derek Muller in Fukushima, Japan Uranium – Twisting the Dragon’s Tail unlocks the mysteries of uranium, one of the Earth’s most controversial elements.

The Bomb is presented near the 70th anniversary of the Trinity test and the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. Using state-of-the-art transfer techniques to turn recently declassified images into vivid, jaw-dropping footage, the program outlines how America developed the bomb, how it changed the world, and how it continues to loom large in our lives.

The documentary includes interviews with historians, men and women who helped build the weapon piece by piece, former Secretary of State George Shultz and Secretary of Defense William Perry, and from those who hold firsthand memories of seeing the first mushroom clouds fill the skies.

In Uranium – Twisting the Dragon’s Tail, host and physicist Dr. Derek Muller embarks on an epic journey across the globe to explain the fascinating details of uranium’s birth and life.

Born from the collapse of a star, uranium has brought hope, progress, and destruction. It has revolutionized society, from medicine to warfare.

Uranium has profoundly shaped the past, will change the future, and will exist long after humans have left the Earth. Filmed on five continents, the two-hour program delivers a gripping story of an ancient element’s footprint on the world.

Life insurance makes an extraordinary charitable gift

by Nancy Krueger, Gifts and Grants Officer When the original purpose for a life insurance policy no longer applies— such as educating children now grown or providing financial security for a spouse now deceased—your policy can become a powerful way to support WFIU. There are three ways to give life insurance to WFIU through the Indiana University Foundation: Name WFIU as a beneficiary of the policy. This is as simple as updating your beneficiary designation form with the policy holder. You can designate WFIU as the primary beneficiary for a percentage or specific amount, or make us the contingent beneficiary so that we will receive the balance of your policy only if your primary beneficiary doesn’t survive you.

Make an outright gift of an existing policy. You can name us as owner and beneficiary of an existing policy. You may receive a federal income tax charitable deduction and reduce your future estate tax liability.

If you continue to pay premiums on the policy, each payment is tax deductible as a charitable gift.

Make an outright gift of a new policy. You can take out a new policy and name WFIU as the owner and the beneficiary of the insurance contract.

This method may be attractive for the younger donor.

To complete your gift, contact your insurance company or go online to complete a beneficiary designation form. Remember, a beneficiary designation is always revocable should your circumstances or preferences change. When considering any charitable arrangements, it’s wise to consult a trusted financial or legal advisor. Contact nkrueger@indiana. edu or call 812-855-2935 with any questions about gift opportunities at WFIU.
