Azerbaijani ballet ((アゼルバイジャン語:Azərbaycan baleti)) is the training methods and aesthetic qualities seen in classical ballet in Azerbaijan. ==History== The Azerbaijani ballet originated in 1940, with the creation of the ''Maiden Tower'' ballet by Afrasiyab Badalbeyli. During that period, ballet was a relatively new genre for Azerbaijani spectators, but ''Maiden Tower'' managed to attract a large audience. It notably featured the first Azerbaijani ballerina, Gamar Almaszadeh, Badalbeyli's wife at the time. The ballet ''Gulshan'' written by Soltan Hajibeyov was the second ballet staged successfully at the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater in 1950. Azerbaijani ballet became known outside of Azerbaijan thanks to two ballets by Gara Garayev: ''Seven Beauties'' and ''The Path of Thunder''. Dancers such as Gamar Almaszadeh, Leyla Vakilova, Konstantin Batashov, Rafiga Akhundova, Vladimir Pletnyov and Chimnaz Babayeva made great contributions in Azerbaijani ballet. In addition, directors such as Ismayil Hidayetzade, Mehdi Mammadov, Adil Isgandarov, Sultan Dadashov and Firudin Safarov and conductors such as Niyazi, Ashraf Hasanov, Ahad Israfilzade, Rauf Abdullayev and Kamal Abdullayev also contributed to the development of Azerbaijani ballet.〔 In 1969, dancers of the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater were awarded a diploma by the Paris Dance Academy at the International Dance Festival held at Champs-Élysées theater in Paris. In 2010, the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater celebrated its 100th anniversary. On 13 October 2014, Garayev's ballet ''Seven Beauties'' premiered in United States at the San Diego Civic Theatre in San Diego, California.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/azerbaijani-ballet-seven-beauties-premieres-in-the-united-states-to-great-acclaim-279046991.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Azerbaijani ballet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
