"Garabaghnama" Takes the Stage at Heydar Aliyev Center

On April 19, "Garabaghnama," based on the play "The Ruler and His Daughter" by Ilyas Afandiyev, will be performed on the stage of the Heydar Aliyev Center. The Center will host the performance of "Garabaghnama" as part of the "Heydar Aliyev and National Theater Art" project commemorating the 100th anniversary of Heydar Aliyev, the national leader of Azerbaijan.

The play is directed by People's Artist Marahim Farzalibayov and features 21 actors who will depict the historical events that occurred in Shusha, the capital of the Karabakh Khanate in the 18th century, as well as the political, social, and family life of Karabakh's ruler, Ibrahim Khan. People's Artist Kazim Abdullayev plays the role of Ibrahim Khan and Honored Artist Masma Aslangizi portrays Aghabayim's master. People's Artists Ali Nur, Firangiz Mutallimova, Haji Ismayilov, Rafig Azimov, Ramiz Malik, and Honored Artists Elnar Garayev, Elkhan Guliyev, Elshan Jabrayilov, Amina Babayeva, Kazim Hasanguliyev, and others will be taking part in the performance.

Jointly organized by the Heydar Aliyev Center and the Ministry of Culture, the performance will be presented by the Azerbaijan State Academic National Drama Theater.

Honored artist Ismayil Mammadov is the production designer of "Garabaghnama," the two-part performance based on Ilyas Afandiyev's "The Ruler and His Daughter." The play was first presented in 1996 and met with great success. On September 20, 1997, national leader Heydar Aliyev attended and enjoyed a performance of the play at the National Drama Theater. The national leader emphasized the significance of fostering patriotism, independence, and an appreciation for history, particularly among young people. He also stressed the importance of creating a feature film based on the play. In 2008, "The Fate of the Ruler," a two-part film inspired by the play, was shown as part of the celebrations honoring national leader Heydar Aliyev's 85th birthday.

"Garabaghnama," which is based on Ilyas Afandiyev's "The Ruler and His Daughter," made its debut on March 10, 2011, and has since been presented 79 times under the same name. Tickets for the 80th performance of "Garabaghnama" at the Heydar Aliyev Center can be purchased at the Center's box office, the iTicket.az website, and other sales points.
