As far as I know, the ONLY spoken dialogue in Porgy and Bess is that spoken by the white people (policemen). And just as a FYI, the inclusion of spoken dialogue doesn't mean that a piece is not an opera. Carmen has LOADS of spoken dialogue in it.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
