Things to do in Baku, Absheron Region: The Best Concerts & Shows
The historical center of Baku reveals its tumultuous past, from its roots as a Persian capital, through its oil boom to its Soviet occupation. The old city is a maze of alleys, mosques, historic buildings and remnants of fortification, including the Palace of the Shirvanshahs and the Maiden Tower, now listed among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Much more than a historic site, the city hosts vibrant arts and cultural activities, as well as a bustling modern business sector.

Even if you have limited time for cultural activities in Baku, you should make sure to visit the Marionette Theatre. Here you get the chance to come in touch, in a short period of time, with the full range of the Azerbaijani people’s cultural heritage: architecture, music, traditional costumes, the melodies of Azeri speech, daily life and holidays, ornaments and dances.

A definite MUST STOP while in Baku. Magical experience regardless of language. The puppets are totally lifelike and you are transported into another dimension. A very memorable experience. Tickets are a little hard to purchase because the theatre was not open during the day. You can go to ticket kiosks in the city or come prior to show which is what we did. WONDERFUL!!!

Initially named “Oda”, ADO Theatre – Collective was founded by Elmin Badalov on July 15, 2013. “Oda” was the first independent theatre in Azerbaijan ever created. By expanding on its action plan, it has now been transformed into “ADO Theatre” and covers different branches of art. It is a contemporary stage, far from the traditions of classical theatre.
