I visited the Azerbaijan State Russian Drama Theater named after Samad Vurgun, and I was very impressed. This is a place with a rich history, a wonderful atmosphere and a high level of acting.
Pros:
✔️ Interesting and diverse repertoire – from classics to modern productions.
Excellent acting – each role is performed with depth and professionalism.
A cozy room with good acoustics and comfortable seats.
✔️ Affordable ticket prices.
✔️ Convenient location in the center of Baku.
Minuses:
Sometimes it can be difficult to get tickets to popular performances.
I would like to see more premieres and new productions.
Conclusion: If you value theater and high–quality performances, this theater is a great place for cultural recreation. I definitely recommend you to visit!
The very fact of the existence of the Russian drama theater in Azerbaijan is already an event.
I watched the premiere performance of the Captain's Daughter.
Being an inveterate theater girl, I was impressed by the live piano music before the performance, performed by a virtuoso young elegant pianist,
as well as the performance staged with deep respect for Pushkin's work and Russian culture.
The performance features Russian songs that I've never heard before, and HOW wonderful they sound!!!
Bravo, I'll be in Baku, and I'll definitely come back.
