Azerbaijan State Russian Drama Theatre, Theatre company in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Azerbaijan State Russian Drama Theatre is a theater in central Baku presenting performances in Russian with a 450-seat auditorium. Located at 7 Hagani Street, it serves as a regular venue for theater productions in the city.
The theater was founded in December 1920 as the State Theater of Independent Criticism and Entertainment, emerging from remaining members of Russia's Yarasa theater group. These early roots shaped its role as a Russian-language performance space in Baku.
The theater performs Russian classics, world literature, and works by Azerbaijani playwrights like Jafar Jabbarli and Huseyn Javid. This mix reflects how the stage connects the city's Russian-speaking community with local storytelling.
The venue sits on a central street in Baku and is easy to find if you are in that area. For details about performances and bookings, reach out through the contact numbers provided.
In 1937 the theater received the Order of the Red Banner of Labour, an honor recognizing its contributions to the city's artistic growth. This early recognition shows how established it had become in Baku's cultural life.
