Seven Beauties is a ballet, composed by Gara Garayev in 1947/48 to mark the 800th anniversary of classical poet Nizami Ganjavi. The ballet lasted in the repertoire of the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater for many years, but was taken off the stage later on.[1] A new version was created in 1978 to celebrate Garayev’s 60th birthday. On November 29, 2008 the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater presented a modern production of Seven Beauties, choreographed by Russian ballet master Vasili Medvedev and conducted by Elshad Bagirov upon libretto of Yana Temiz.[1]
