Opera and Ballet Theatre
The 1911 theatre building — the main address of Baku's musical stage.
Subject
The city's own jazz dialect: mugham modes, clubs, festivals and several generations of players.
The site is in progress. The domain is reserved; design and texts are under way.
How it will look: each site gets its own colour scheme and structure.
Jazz took hold in Baku in the 1950s–60s. Vagif Mustafazadeh brought mugham modes into improvisation and jazz-mugham was born.
Today the city has clubs, a jazz festival and a jazz department at the conservatoire — the tradition continues.

The 1911 theatre building — the main address of Baku's musical stage.
Opened in 2009: halls without walls, skewed perspectives, art of the 20th–21st centuries.
The building by Fountain Square with six writers standing on its facade.
