🟤 The Gondoliers – Vintage 1930s Federal Music Project Opera Poster Print

Transport yourself to the golden age of American cultural programming with this captivating WPA Federal Music Project poster promoting Gilbert & Sullivan’s beloved comic opera. This The Gondoliers artwork represents the ambitious New Deal initiative that brought high-quality musical theater to communities across America during the Great Depression. The striking design features an elegant Art Deco silhouette of a gondolier against a vibrant red and green color scheme, with bold typography announcing “Admission Free”—a revolutionary concept that made opera accessible to all social classes. Cast of 100 performers under Handel Wadsworth’s direction promised audiences a spectacular theatrical experience.
