MARCH 10 - NATIONAL THEATER DAY

The creation of the national theater in Azerbaijan in the 70s of the XIX century became a big event in the history of our culture. On March 10, 1873 students of the Baku Real School were presented a comedy M. F. Akhundzade "The Visir of the Lankoran Khanate". This play started the national theater in Azerbaijan. The history of the creation of the national musical theater begins with the opera Uzeir Gadjibeili "Leili and Mejnun", performed on 12 (25) January 1908 at the G.Z.Tagiev's Theater. The State Museum of Music Culture of Azerbaijan stores archives materials related to operas, ballet, musical comedies. Today we present materials related to the birthday of a bright representative of the national musical theater, the first Azerbaijani ballerina, balletmaster, folk artist of the USSR, winner of the USSR State Award, teacher, professor Gamer ALMASZADE (10.03.1915 - 07.04.2006).
