Azerbaijan State Academic Opera And Ballet Theatre

The Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre is one of the main cultural centers of the country and plays an important role in the development of national and classical opera and ballet art.

The theatre building was constructed in 1910. Azerbaijan is the first country in the East where the opera genre was introduced. Currently in its 116th season, the repertoire of the Opera and Ballet Theatre is rich and diverse: nearly 40 national and classical operas, as well as more than 35 ballet performances, are staged here. 

Currently, extensive renovation works are being carried out at the theatre, and performances are being presented at the Heydar Aliyev Palace as well as at the Opera Studio of the Uzeyir Hajibeyli Baku Music Academy.
