Step into the dreamlike elegance of Viennese operetta with this original 1976 poster by artist Okley, designed for the Mogador Theatre’s production of Rêve de Valse (A Waltz Dream), presented under the direction of Henri Varna.
Overflowing with romance and theatrical flair, the artwork depicts the central couple in a tender embrace—a violin between them, symbolizing the waltz that binds their hearts. The woman, dressed in imperial regalia with a plume-topped hat, gazes into the eyes of her uniformed lover. The brushstrokes are soft yet expressive, drenched in hues of royal purple, white, and gold, with a dramatic black backdrop that lets the romance glow.
A signature of the Théâtre Mogador's golden era, this poster not only promotes a beloved operetta originally composed by Oscar Straus, but also reflects the enduring appeal of European stage spectacle, love stories, and melodic fantasy.
Printed with the premiere date—31 July 1976—and ticket information in bold, this piece is a snapshot of French cultural life in the 1970s, capturing the passion of live performance and classic musical theatre with flair.
A beautiful collectible for lovers of vintage theatre posters, operetta history, or Okley’s theatrical illustration style.
