This collection of six original theater and concert programs represents a unique chronicle of the vibrant performing arts scene in Tiflis (later Tbilisi) from the late 1920s to the mid-1950s. The items capture key moments across various genres: drama (Ibsen's "The Master Builder" directed by the foundational figure of Georgian theater, Kote Mardzhanishvili), classical music (concerts by the German chamber orchestra and tenor Rudolf Karwe), popular operetta, and even a wartime athletic concert. Each program is a primary source documenting specific performances, listing casts, crews, and venues like the historic Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Theater or the Rustaveli Concert Hall. With very small print runs (as low as 100 copies), produced for single events, such ephemera rarely survive. As a group, they offer invaluable insight into the cultural life, international artistic exchanges, and entertainment tastes in the capital of Soviet Georgia during this dynamic historical period.
