TREEMONISHA is not small. The cast list has seventeen roles and our new version, SCOTT JOPLIN AND TREEMONISHA, adds seven more. There are over twenty in the chorus and over ten dancers. Lots of the roles have been doubled up.This is balanced by the orchestra of "Eleven and Piano" which is rather small when compared to a regular opera orchestra.
