This rare 1932 libretto for Auber’s Fra Diavolo provides a fascinating glimpse into the lighter, comic repertoire maintained by the Tiflis (Tbilisi) State Opera House during a period of intense cultural transition. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the French opéra comique tradition, including the arrangement of the witty and fast-paced libretto by Eugène Scribe and Germain Delavigne. Centered on the exploits of the legendary Italian bandit, the narrative balances intrigue and humor, a style that remained immensely popular with the Tiflis public. The synopsis provided by N. Ryadnova serves as a vital primary source for understanding how 19th-century European masterpieces were curated and presented to Soviet audiences in the early 1930s, highlighting the enduring appeal of the "brigand" theme in the Caucasus.
