Maiden Tower in Music Scene from Maiden Tower from
the revision made to Badalbeyli's ballet. The new version of
the ballet rids the plot of ideological propaganda. This time,
there is no father-daughter incestual relationship. The plot
is simply: A khan sees a beautiful girl, Gulyanag, in one of
the villages that is under his authority. He wants to marry her,
but she already has a fiancé, Polad. When the khan tries
to force her to marry him, Gulyanag asks him to build a tower,
hoping to gain some time. He does so. _____ |
