The Azerbaijan State Academic Musical Theater is pleased to announce the premiere of the comedy "Aliqulu is Getting Married Today," based on the play "Aliqulu is Getting Married" by playwright Sabit Rahman. With libretto and direction by People's Artist Ilham Namig Kamal, the production promises a unique and vibrant theatrical experience.

The play features a contemporary, dynamic storyline with captivating twists. The music is composed by Honored Art Worker Oktay Rajabov, while the lyrics are penned by Honored Art Worker and renowned poet Baba Vazirov.

Through the portrayal of Aliqulu, masterfully performed by People's Artist Ilham Namig Kamal, the play humorously satirizes officials afflicted by the "chair disease," a metaphor for obsession with power.

The production team includes Honored Art Worker Fakhraddin Atayev as the conductor, Honored Artist Vagif Mastanov as the choir master, Honored Artist Nigyar Shahmuradova as the choreographer, Honored Artist Nabat Samadova as the set designer, costume designer Nubar Huseynova, and concertmaster Fidan Aliyeva.
