The performance of the celebrated operetta "Husband and wife," a work by the prominent Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyli, was staged in the Turkmen language at Ashgabat's Main Drama Theatre named after the Great Saparmyrat Turkmenbashy, according to the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Turkmenistan.

Originally written in 1909 and regarded as the first operetta of the East, this work was met with great interest and applause by the audience on the Ashgabat stage.

Members of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Turkmenistan, along with their families, attended the performance and later met with the cast, presenting the artists with bouquets in appreciation.

Uzeyir Hajibeyli’s legacy holds a distinguished place in Turkmenistan’s cultural landscape. In addition to “Husband and wife,” the composer’s celebrated operetta “Arshin mal alan” continues to be successfully staged across various theatres in Ashgabat, consistently earning high praise from both local and international audiences.
