The Theatre's Story
The idea of theatre in Azerbaijan started a long time ago with national holidays and dances. People would act out stories and characters during festivals and special events. These early performances were the first steps towards modern theatre.
The first professional play was performed on March 10, 1873. It was a funny play called "Vizier of Lankaran khanate" by M.F.Akhundov. Hasan bey Zardabi and students from Baku helped put on this show. This event is seen as the official start of professional theatre in Azerbaijan.
In 1919, different acting groups came together, and the theatre became officially recognized by the state. Over the years, the theatre had many different names. It was called the "State Theatre," "United State Theatre," and "Azerbaijani Turkic Drama Theatre." From 1923 to 1933, it was named after Dadash Bunyatzade. Then, from 1933 to 1991, it was named after Meshadi Azizbekov. Finally, in 1991, it received its current name: the "Azerbaijan State Academic Drama Theatre."
