San Francisco Grand Opera Series - Showboat

Showboat. A true classic of American musical theater, this tale of life on the Mississippi from the 1880s to the 1920s is both a poignant love story and a powerful reminder of the bitter legacy of racism. Director Francesca Zambello’s grand-scale production is "a triumph—a stylish, fast-paced and colorful show that had the capacity audience on its feet, cheering loud and long" (Chicago Classical Review). The Jerome Kern-Oscar Hammerstein II score includes classic songs "Ol’ Man River," "Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man," "Make Believe".
