Sacharia-Paliashvili Theatre for Opera and Ballet

The building, located on Rustaveli Ave., was restored recently. Now this Opera House shines more than ever. It was originally built under the german-baltic architect Victor J.G. Schröter, born in St. Petersburg, in moorish style. 

The first picture is about 20y. old; large parts of the facade were hidden under large posters when I took the other pictures (Dec 2017), but it hasn't changed much since then.

The Paliashvili-Theatre / Das Paliaschwili-Theater in Tbilissi

for opera and ballet, built in moorish style between 1880 and 1896 by german architect Viktor Schretter. It replaced it´s predecessor (built in 1851) which burnt down only 20 years later. Unfortunately, this happend to Schretter´s masterwork, too. The present building is a copy by his plans. To be seen on Rustaveli ave., Tbilissi. The photos were taken in 1998.

für Oper und Ballett, gebaut im maurischen Stil zwischen1880 und 18896 vom deutschen Architekten Viktor Schretter. Sie ersetzte ein 1851 erbautes Operhaus, das nach nur 20 Jahren abbrannte. Leider ereilte Schretters Bau das gleiche Schicksal. Das heute existierende Gebäude ist eine Kopie nach den Plänen von Schretter. Die Oper befindet sich auf der Rustaweli Straße, Tbilissi. Die Fotos stammen von 1998.
