Ozurgeti State Drama Theater

The theatre’s drama company had been performing in various locations since 1868, but settled in this ancient Greek-style building - one of the largest for art in Georgia after the Tbilisi Philharmonic  -  for performances in 1962. Renovation modernized the structure of a five-story building with a two-tier 750-seat hall decorated with Georgian ornaments. A semi-circular parterre joins the big stage. The painting on the ceiling is by Apollon Kutateladze – the greatest Georgian battle painter.

The theatre is named after famous Georgian actor Alexandre Tsutsunava (1881-1955), director of the theatre’s first performance, and a founder of Georgian opera and film.
