Theater goers have a chance to once again enjoy Uzeyir

Azerbaijan State Academic Musical Theater will present the
comedy on July 19. Director of the two-part musical comedy is the

Honored Artist Ismayil Mammadov.
The magnificent performance, which was awarded the Culture
Ministry`s Zirva Award, was staged by People's Artist, Shohrat"

"If Not That One,Then This One" is a 1910 operetta in four acts
that reflects social and everyday life relations in
pre-revolutionary Azerbaijan. It is the composer's second work
written in this genre.
Through this comedy, Uzeyir Hajibayli reveals the social and
everyday prejudices widespread in society at the beginning of the
20th century and uses laughter and satire for this. He chose such
an original path to put forward his ideas in those years. And the
psychotypes of characters were so skillfully described that the
comedy is relevant at all times, as it reveals human vices - greed,
hypocrisy, lies, cowardice, etc.
Hajibayli used the Azerbaijani mugham in some of the music and
incorporated extracts from Fuzuli's ghazals in the libretto.
The musical comedy has been shown for many years by various
directors, not only in Azerbaijan but also in many theatres around
the world.
Tickets can be purchased from all centralized ticket offices of
the city, ASAN Service Centers, as well as from iTicket .
