Scott Joplin (book, music) TREEMONISHA (1975) Theatre poster

Washington, D.C., 1975. Vintage original 22 x 14″ (56 x 36 cm.) theatre window card poster. Some wear and handling at edges with light creases, very good or better, with bright colors.

Master of ragtime music Scott Joplin wrote this opera in 1911, a celebration of African American life and culture set on an Arkansas plantation, in a variety of musical styles. It never got a full performance in his lifetime. In the 1970s the opera began to be rediscovered.

This poster is for a Washington, D.C., tryout of a Houston Grand Opera production, prior to a Broadway run.
