Reviews

The Baikal Theater is very loved by the audience. Everyone who has visited his performances and concerts recommend visiting this place. The audience is very flattering about the theater. They write that his performances are bright, interesting and breathtaking. The rooms are sophisticated, the artists are professional. The vocalists have great voices. Each of their performances is spectacular.

The show "Shine of Asia" and the performance "Three Elements" are especially loved by the audience. The audience notes that these programs delight, give a sea of emotions and leave unforgettable impressions from them.

The theater is very popular with the public, so you need to buy tickets in advance, otherwise there will be no chance to get to a concert or performance: they sell out very quickly.
