The Tagiyev Theater played an important role in the development of the Azerbaijani theater. In the years when Tagiyev took up the development of the theatrical business, there was neither a theater school nor professional artists staff on the territory of Azerbaijan. The first performance in Azerbaijani was shown only ten years before the construction of the Tagiyev's theater in Baku. So, on 10 (23) March 1873, on the stage of the Baku Public Meeting, students of the Real School played a performance based on the play of M. F. Akhundov “The Vizier of the Lankaran Khanate”.
