Opera and Ballet Theatre
The 1911 theatre building — the main address of Baku's musical stage.
Institution
Built for a summer club, later the country's main concert hall.
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.
The building went up in 1912 beside the city garden, echoing the casino-theatres of Europe. The state philharmonic later moved in.
Today the hall hosts symphony concerts, chamber programmes and evenings of national music.
