Tashkent

Theatre entertainment in Tashkent

  1. A

    Ilkhom Theatre

    Tashkent's other main cultural highlight is the progressive Ilkhom Theatre, which stages productions in Russian but occasionally has English subtitles. Known for bucking trends, its productions often touch on gay themes and racial subjects, putting off some locals but thrilling Tashkent's expat community, many of whom are big supporters of the theatre. You'll see such oddities as Shakespeare plays entwined with Beatles music.

    The theatre also stages occasional jazz concerts as well as art exhibitions in its lobby.
