Praised by The New York Times as gently imbued with ragtime, but aspiring "to genuine operatic richness," Scott Joplin's energetic opera tells of a confident young woman whose life, in many respects, paralleled the composer's. The pioneering work appears here in a handsome and inexpensive edition, sure to delight soloists, rehearsal pianists, and Joplin enthusiasts.
