"Koroglu" opera returns to the stage with the support of PASHA Bank

The opera “Koroglu” has returned to the stage as part of the cooperation between the country’s leading corporate financial institution PASHA Bank and the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater.

The opera “Koroglu”, a masterpiece by the founder of professional musical art and national opera in Azerbaijan, Uzeyir Hajibeyli, was presented to the audience in a grandiose production held on September 28, 2025.

As a continuation of PASHA Bank’s initiatives to preserve and promote the national cultural heritage, special costumes were prepared as part of the opera’s restoration that fully reflect the stage images of the characters. Each costume, thanks to elegant fabrics, national patterns and the handiwork of masters, preserved the visual beauty and historical authenticity of the performance.

Emphasizing the Bank’s role in the project, Chairman of the Board of Directors Javid Guliyev said that the return of the opera “Koroglu” to the stage is an important step in passing on values ​​such as heroism, tolerance and national pride to new generations.

“Our national heritage is an expression of our unity and identity. As PASHA Bank, we continue our initiatives to preserve our cultural heritage and pass it on to future generations,” said Guliyev.

On July 9, 2025, a memorandum of cooperation was signed between the Bank and the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater. Based on the memorandum, PASHA Bank made a donation to support the project to restore the opera “Koroglu” by the great composer Uzeyir Hajibeyli, whose 140th anniversary is celebrated.
