The performing arts posters present a complex and nuanced view of performance in the German Democratic Republic during the cold-war years. Most of the posters advertise performances in various venues in Berlin such as the Deutsches Theater, the Deutsche Staatsoper Berlin, the Komische Oper Berlin or the Palast der Republik, but performances in theaters in Leipzig, Dresden, Rostock, Erfurt, Halle, Gera, and Magdeburg are also included. The works advertised on the posters are predominantly classics: plays by Friedrich Schiller, Heinrich von Kleist, Georg Büchner, Shakespeare and Chekhov; operas by G. F. Handel, Mozart, Wagner, Puccini and Verdi, and ballets by Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev. However, contemporary playwrights like Maxim Gorki, Heiner Müller and Peter Weiss are also represented. Examples include posters from the Berliner Ensembles's premiere production of Bertolt Brecht's \"Mother Courage\"; Deutsche Theater Kammerspiele's \"Der Blaue Boll\" by the Expressionist playwright, Ernst Barlach; Landes Theatre Halle's cutting-edge production of \"Tamerlan\"; Ballet Company of Leipzig's historic performance of \"Bilder Der Liebe\"; and Maxim Gorki Theatre's \"Sinulja\" by Alexander Gelman.

Handel, Mozart, Wagner, Puccini and Verdi, and ballets by Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev. However, contemporary playwrights like Maxim Gorki, Heiner Müller and Peter Weiss are also represented. Examples include posters from the Berliner Ensembles's premiere production of Bertolt Brecht's \"Mother Courage\"; Deutsche Theater Kammerspiele's \"Der Blaue Boll\" by the Expressionist playwright, Ernst Barlach; Landes Theatre Halle's cutting-edge production of \"Tamerlan\"; Ballet Company of Leipzig's historic performance of \"Bilder Der Liebe\"; and Maxim Gorki Theatre's \"Sinulja\" by Alexander Gelman. The majority of the posters consist of drawings or paintings that reflect the artist's interpretation of the works to be performed.","See the External Documents note for a poster inventory with brief descriptions."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThere may be restrictions on reproduction.
