Theatres, Opera and Ballet in Baku |

Today in the theatres you'll find plays both in Azeri and Russian, even so a lot of older residents have a certain nostalgia for the pre-war times, when in this area the cosmopolitan character of city's population was translated in a rainbow of events.
Most occasions are informal, but there are some exceptions, so if you want to avoid feeling awkward don't forget to check the dress code in advance for each performance.

If you are a film aficionado interested in classic Azeri cinema there are a few directors whose work you must get to know: Letif Seferov, Hesen Seyidbeyli, Ejder Ibrahimov, Tofiq Tagizade, Rza Tehmasib, Hussein Seyidzade and Samil Mahmudbeyov.
Regrettably in recent years the Azeri film
production has been a little scarce, however some interesting productions
have emerged. Among them: "The Bat" (Yarasa/1995) a film by Ayaz Salayev
which was awarded the Grand Prix at the International Film Festival in
Angers and "Strange Times" (Ösge vacht/1997) by Husseyn Mechtiew,
present at the Berlin film festival.
