The performance will take place in the Music Center’s Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, which is one of the largest and most renowned opera houses of the world. Besides being home to the eminent Los Angeles Opera, the Pavilion is also famous for hosting Oscar Awards ceremonies in 1970-90s.

Produced by award-winning American producer Michael Schnack, the musical comedy will be performed by outstanding American opera singers, who will be singing in original Azerbaijani (with projected English translations) and speaking in English. Michael Schnack was also the producer of the same operetta staged in Vienna Chamber Orchestra (Austria) in 2006 to a great acclaim.

A Los Angeles-based orchestra of exquisite musicians will play the music.

It is the first time that this unique musical comedy will be performed at such a scale and form in the English-speaking world in general, and the U.S. in particular.
