Scott Joplin’s rarely performed opera Treemonisha is brought to Greenwich by Pegasus Opera Company.

Set in the American South and written a century ago, Joplin’s opera centres on Treemonisha, an educated former slave. In attempting to free her community from the grip of ignorance and superstition, she faces hostility, suspicion and dangerous opposition. Mirroring aspects of the composer’s own life, Joplin’s acclaimed opera, with its mastery of different musical styles, is a stirring and sparkling operatic gem.
