This rare 1932 libretto for Puccini’s Tosca is a valuable testament to the cultural life of Tiflis (Tbilisi) in the early 1930s. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the dramatic plot, including an analysis of the three-act structure based on the play by Victorien Sardou. The publication is supplemented by a specialized musical review by N. Ryadnova, which serves as an important primary source for understanding how Puccini’s verismo masterpieces were interpreted on the Georgian stage. The presence of illustrations and a portrait of the composer (or a leading performer) emphasizes the high artistic level of the theatrical guides of that time, intended to educate the public and reveal the psychological depth of the conflict between Floria Tosca, Mario Cavaradossi, and Baron Scarpia.
