Episode: 14086 Scott Joplin: Treemonisha
Description: Scott Joplin's 2nd and final opera.
This landmark first ever recording of this opera will surprise you!
Listed as a "ragtime opera" this description couldn't be further from the truth. This is more in line with a Gilbert and Sullivan production and includes an excellent morality story and also some "pre-blues" numbers.k
Performed by the Houston Grand Opera Company.
