Title	Leadville Opera House project, 1933
Creator(s)	Current, Ira B.
Summary	Photoprint of a watercolor of Leadville, Colorado's Tabor Opera House original scenery. Painted by Muriel Wolle as part of her University of Colorado scenery project, the painting depicts two women in togas on pedestals flanking a center pedestal with an urn filled with foilage. The figure on the right stands in a shell and holds an olive branch. The figures have shadows on their right sides and are framed by three narrow borders at the edge of the paper. In December, 1933, a group of students, professors, and a former Tabor stage manager located and set up original canvas flats and drops to document and photograph, while Wolle sketched each set and made color notes which were developed into large watercolor paintings.
