Learn about the life and work of one of Azerbaijan's greatest ever cultural figures - Uzeyir Hajibeyov. Among his many achievements, Hajibeyov, aka the father of Azerbaijani classical music and opera, composed the first opera in the Islamic world (Leyla and Majnun, in 1908) and wrote the music for Azerbaijan's first national anthem.
