Photoprint of a watercolor of Leadville, Colorado's opera house scenery. The painting depicts a scene with marble columns, balustrade and archways with a castle in the background with onion and hemispheric domes. Draped curtains frame the scene. In December, 1933, a group of students, a former Tabor stage manager, and professors 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.
