Azerbaijan State Theatre of Musical Comedy, Musical comedy theatre in downtown Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Azerbaijan State Theatre of Musical Comedy is a theatre in central Baku with 343 seats. It presents musicals, comedies, and operettas throughout the year.
The theatre was founded in 1934 following the success of Uzeyir Hajibeyov's musical comedies, which began in 1910 at a circus building with 'Husband and Wife'. This marked an important moment in the development of this art form in Azerbaijan.
The performances explore everyday themes through musical comedies that blend local traditions. You can watch shows presented in both Azerbaijani and Russian languages.
The theatre runs regular performances with advance booking available through their website. It helps to reserve tickets ahead of time, especially for popular shows.
Between 1988 and 1992, the company performed without a permanent home, using temporary spaces. Establishing itself at the current location was a fresh start for the ensemble.
