Bass-baritone Bruce Hubbard appeared as Jake in the Glyndebourne stage production on which this television production is based, but he died suddenly in 1991, so he was not able to appear in this version. Because the original recording of the Glyndebourne production was used, however (instead of having the cast make an all-new recording for the telecast), Hubbard's singing voice is still heard as Jake, while Gordon Hawkins plays the role onscreen and lip-synchs to Hubbard's voice.
For this production, as well as for the 1986 Glyndebourne stage production on which this is based, director Trevor Nunn decided that it would be more effective to have Porgy walking with the aid of a crutch rather than riding around on a soapbox fitted out with wheels and pulled by a goat, as in all previous productions of the opera. He felt (rightly or wrongly) that this would make Porgy more sexually attractive to Bess.
Contrary to what some reviews say, this production was videotaped, not filmed, and taped not on location but entirely on studio soundstages.
Final acting role of Alan Tilvern.
"Clara: [singing, to her baby] Summertime, And the livin' is easy, Fish are jumpin' And de cotton is high, Oh, your daddy's rich, and your ma is good-lookin', So, hush, little baby, don't you cry."
"Jake: [singing, to the baby] Listen to your daddy warn you, 'Fore you starts a-travelin' Women may born you, love you, and mourn you, But a woman is a sometime thing, Yes, a woman is a sometime thing."
