Review: Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Strikingly one of the most fascinating Ballets ever witnessed. On a sunny, Sunday afternoon in Tbilisi, the place to be wasn’t to be found outside.

Right off Rustaveli Ave is located the Opera and Ballet Theatre of Tbilisi. A local, ballerina, influencer had posted a flyer on Insta about the performance by the Tbilisi Opera and Ballet, and being a huge fan of all things artsy, a couple of questions were sent her way. Serendipitously she replied, sharing some insights.

Ticket in hand, I wandered into the massive, Neo-Moorish styled structure with all the other lovers of the arts. The facade of the interior is something straight out of the Great Gatsby…a definite must-see while in Tbilisi. Sitting in one of the boxes alongside the stage provided the perfect opportunity to witness this truly unique experience- unique is the perfect word for Alexander Krein Laurencia’s Ballet, which is based on the novel Fuente Ovejuna by Lope de Vega.

The most amazing part of the performance was the ‘Gypsy Dance’ performed by Tata Jashi, Luka Gedekhauri and Sergey Petrosian. Of all the ballets taken in around the world from New York to Paris…Vienna included, witnessing a Gypsy dance was a profound alteration to the traditional Italian Renaissance performance. The combination of color, dynamic movements, and sheer originality won over this cultural art lover!

A wonderful experience to be had…and one even a perfect Sunday in the sun couldn’t compete with!

Cheers to the Director of the Ballet Company, Nina Ananiashvili, and to the Artistic Director of the Theatre, Badri Maisuradze, and the ballet company on a job well done!...

🇬🇪 Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Theater – Exterior Visit Review 📍 25 Shota Rustaveli Ave, Tbilisi

✨ Architectural Grandeur, Even Without Entry

Even without stepping inside, the Zakaria Paliashvili Tbilisi State Opera and Ballet Theater commands attention. This Moorish Revival masterpiece, completed in 1896, stands as one of the most ornate and culturally significant buildings in Georgia. Its symmetrical façade, arched windows, and decorative motifs evoke a blend of Eastern elegance and European theatrical tradition.

🧱 Visual Highlights Ornate stucco work and vibrant color palette Grand staircase and columned entrance Sculptural details that hint at its operatic legacy

📸 Photo-Worthy Angles Best viewed from across Rustaveli Avenue for full frontal symmetry Side angles reveal depth and layered design Evening lighting adds dramatic flair to the façade

🏛️ Architectural Origins Originally built in 1851 by Italian architect Giovanni Scudieri, commissioned by Russian Viceroy Mikhail Vorontsov After a fire in 1874, the current building was completed in 1896 by Baltic German architect Victor Schröter, who introduced the striking Neo-Moorish style that defines its present-day appearance

🕰️ Historical Weight Even from the outside, you feel the weight of its legacy - rebuilt, restored, and still central to Georgia’s performing arts scene. The 2016 renovation preserved its grandeur while modernizing its infrastructure.

⚠️ Visitor Tip No ticket needed to admire the exterior, but if you're planning to return for a performance or guided tour, check the official schedule and...
