Azerbaijan State Theatre of Young Spectators

The Azerbaijan State Theatre of Young Spectators is a theater in Baku with two separate performance spaces offering both Azerbaijani and Russian-language productions. The larger auditorium hosts main productions, while the smaller stage provides space for more intimate and experimental works.

The theater was founded in 1928 as the Baku Children's Theater and grew into an important cultural institution in the city. It received the Order of the Badge of Honour for its contributions to performing arts.

The theater stages adaptations of Russian literature and Azerbaijani folk tales, bringing regional storytelling traditions to young audiences. These productions blend classic narratives with contemporary theatrical craft.

The two performance spaces allow visitors to choose between large-scale productions and smaller experimental shows. Plan your visit so you can move between the different venues depending on your preferences and the type of performance that interests you.

The theater has been a member of the International Association of Theater for Children and Young People since 2011, connecting with global networks for youth theater. This membership means the venue actively participates in international exchange programs and artistic collaborations.
