Baku State Circus, Circus building in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The Baku State Circus stands as a circular structure with a capacity of 2000 seats, featuring a central performance ring and tiered seating arrangements.
The current building, completed in 1967, replaced several previous circus structures in Baku, including the first circus-zoo established by Nikitin brothers in the 1890s.
The circus incorporates traditional Azerbaijani elements into performances, presenting programs that showcase national dances and customs through circus artistry.
The circus facility maintains regular performance schedules, offering acrobatics, juggling, aerial acts, and animal performances throughout the entertainment season.
During the Soviet era, the circus troupe toured extensively with programs like 'We are from Baku', presenting Azerbaijani circus arts across different regions.
