Instructions for downloading Adobe Acrobat 4.0 to read compressed PDF files



Here are the Librettos for some of Uzeyir Hajibeyov's Operas and Musical Comedies. To our knowledge, this is the first time they have been made available in English and in Azeri Latin (not Cyrillic).

Since they are large files, we have prepared them in PDF format. For the Azeri version, you do NOT need to download any Azeri Latin font. Simply download Acrobat Reader which is FREE at www.acrobat.com. The texts have been translated into English and typed in the new Azeri Latin font by Azerbaijan International's staff. Please print them and enjoy.

The texts accompany the 7 CD set - "Uzeyir Hajibeyov - Classical Music of Azerbaijan" produced by Azerbaijan International in 2001 under the sponsorship of STATOIL of Norway. To purchase any, or all, of these CDs, go to Store, click on Music - Hajibeyov.
