Experience Baku

Is another legend spun building in Baku. The story goes that when the famous vocalists Antonina Neshdanova visited Baku in 1910, she had to sing in casinos, clubs and at the circus. At the Farwell dinner arranged in her honor, she was asked when she would visit Baku again. She replied “Perhaps never again. I’m not accustomed to singing in a casino or a circus! I wonder, why is there no opera theater in your beautiful and rich city, where so many generous people are living?”
One of the Local millionaires, Daniel Mailov promised to build an opera house worthy of her talent, within a year.
The promise was held, and this fantastic Opera house was astonishingly constructed between April 1910 to February 1911.
