The character in this opera, Treemonisha, is NOT a feminist. Adding black-power elements to this show is not appropriate.

Raríssimo encontrar algo de Dan Fante legendado. Muito obrigado por isso! Sou Grande fan do John fante.

Next year: Treemonisha will be performed in Chicago, Illinois! / No próximo ano: Treemonisha será apresentada em Chicago, Illinois! (P.S.: Viva Lula!!)

Parabéns.Um excelente vídeo.

May S. Joplin rest in peace.

One of the BEST movies EVER MADE.

Love this as you see the deepness of Sam's very personal play with great actors and terrific director.

Joplin was a visionary based on a passion for history and his own experiences. Big changes in the 20th Century, let alone in 20 plus years 21s Century, and Joplin understood his own community, his own soul, to foresee the Women's Movement and Civil Rights Movements to come. Let alone the music and doing everything himself, because nobody had any interest in him except if he wanted to play to Tin Pan Alley, but not his way, I'm afraid to say. Doors closed, did it himself. Brilliant fellow, suffered so, Baruch Hashem Scott. Amen ( please ). thank you.

Scott Joplin was a true genius. Joplin's opere is very nice. A fabulous opera with great melodies. Wonderful performance.....from Texas.

Belíssimo filme. Obrigada por postar ❤

So glad to see and enjoy this eventually. Shame about the aspect ratio, though. Can you fix it?

Superb opera and superb singers - the dancing, the entire production is wonderful. Only wish that Mr. Joplin had witnessed this.

Treemonisha is better than Porgy and Bess. More authentic!

He might have lived a perfect life

For a minute there I thought the conductor was Larry Harlow.

TY for this posting. Fantastic

Mr Joplin was a friggin GENIUS.

Incredible

Not only an OPERA ALSO BALLET???!!!! Everything about this is immeasurable beyond measure!!!!

If Scott Joplin could have come back to life for one day and had seen this play live I really think he would be crying like a baby at the end of it.

After becoming a fan of Scott Joplin and learning about his life I feel absolutely privileged to watch this play. However I also feel a bit guilty because well I have the privilege of seeing it Joplin himself never got the chance to see a finished production of this play. To me that's just a damned shame and I would give anything to bring him back long enough to at least see the play one time and maybe critique it afterwards.

In Caracas 1978 I turned on the radio and something unknown was playing. I rushed to my tape recorder and recorded the whole thing. My best guess about the composer was Victor Herbert operetta. Since then I have heard it dozens of times. Later I was thrilled by the piano rags. My favorite opera, clearly influenced Gershwin's Porgy and Bess and even The Sound of Music. Amazing performance by all.

Amazing!

I feel cheated we ain’t learn about Scott Joplin in history classes.

Linda ópera afroamericana,, lastima qué no está subtitulada en Español.. saludos y gracias.

Valeu, assisti o filme numa segundona e deu vontade de cair na night

This JAWN is a timeless classic. S. Epatha Merkerson and Terrence Howard and my boy Michael k. Williams AKA OMAR. I love this movie.

Woody: "You had an underrated performance in "Shanghai Surprise.''

Great production and what an amazing lead soprano!

Glad to see maestro wearing his best Hawaiian shirt for the occasion!!!

I can’t believe this is so underrated… this opera is a gem of music which should be way more performed in concert !

Obrigado 🙏🏻

Basically Will, fresh prince of Bel Air but in slavery era

there are only two *black* operas in the world. Every one knows one. Everyone should know this one, too. I have the record since more than 30 years and love every second of it.

The only all-American folk opera. It should be celebrated and not obscure.

Incredibly good. Such fun. The dancing! The singing! Thank you. Thank you!

🤩Bravo!!!👏🤩🤩 How is Mr. Joplin’s opera absent from our musical cannon and music classes??!! He is not a novelty composer!

Thank you so much. My family and love this movie.

Fantastic. What a stage presence they all have

Maravilhoso!

Brilliant...thank you!!!

I was simply blown away! If only Scott Joplin himself could have witnessed his opera being performed with such joy and energy. I wish this opera could be staged more often. Thank you, Edivaldo, for putting this video on RUclips.

What a cast! Incredible.

Thankyou for giving this!

I remember when HGO presented this great show we were all so excited!! What a fabulous Opera by Joplin and what a CAST!!

Did the Conductor and Orchestra think they were showing up for rehearsal?

I like to imagine Joplin's spirit watching this as he smiles seeing the audience clapping loudly of this masterpiece
