"Thirteen years before George Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess debuted on Broadway (in 1935), his one-act jazz opera Blue Monday (Opera a la Afro-American) opened and promptly closed. It calls for an all African-American cast (the debut featured white actors in blackface), and it's a remarkable if forgotten work."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
