Catfish Row Productions, a subsidiary of the American National Opera Company, was created to assemble and present the most cutting-edge performances of the great American Opera: Porgy and Bess. Having recently expanded our artistic resources and productions power, we are poised to deliver technologically ground-breaking tours in nearly every part of the world.

Our upcoming world tour of this Gershwin masterpiece will exhibit some of the most beautiful and elaborate sets and costumes this show has ever seen. Beyond progressive technology and spectacular aesthetics, however, we believe the heart and soul of this deeply moving story lies in the heart and soul of its characters. Our production will thoroughly examine the struggles of life with which we empathize, the triumphs for which we strive, and most of all, our own humanity by which we are truly inspired.

These innovations coupled with the enthusiastic booking responses we have received promise an exciting and dynamic series of shows.

We’ve identified a number of unique artistic opportunities which, through live performance and feature film releases, can have a major transformative impact on audiences world-wide. We are reaching out to the arts, financial, and marketing communities to strengthen our concept and company, and seek your advice as we are always looking for new ideas and key personnel.
