Events in Azerbaijan – November 2026

The second edition of this multi-genre festival, organised by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and the Ministry of Culture, brings more than 20 theatre, ballet, music and film events to Baku stages. November highlights include Gesher Theatre (1–2 Nov), the Gabriadze Marionette Theatre (3–4 Nov), English National Ballet (6–7 Nov) and Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo (7 Nov). It is a good reason to plan an autumn city break around evening performances in the capital's main theatres and halls.
