Carmen
Fidan Hajiyeva's association with the 4-act tragedy opera " Carmen," composed by the renowned French composer Georges Bizet with a libretto by Ludovik Halevi and Henri Meliak, holds a special place in her career.

Vocal Music School named after Fidan Hajiyeva
In 2016, Fidan Hajiyeva established a Music Center that proudly bears her name, a dream she had cherished for years. The primary objective of this venture was to create a place for teaching her students, but it quickly garnered substantial interest from aspiring musicians. Fidan Hajiyeva's center primarily focuses on imparting the art of vocal performance and classical music. Moreover, it offers instruction in jazz, classical pop, piano, saxophone, violin, and guitar. The center was initially known as "Fidan Hajiyeva's Music Center" since August 9, 2017.
February 25, 2017, the students of Fidan Hajiyeva held their inaugural concert in the Music Center's study hall, dedicated to the Khojaly genocide. Despite the limited audience, Carol Mary Crofts, the Ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to Azerbaijan, graced the occasion with her presence.
May 28, 2017, Fidan Hajiyeva's students presented their first concert in front of a larger audience at the Zira Culture Center, commemorating the 99th anniversary of the establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. An engaging aspect of these concerts is Fidan Hajiyeva performing alongside her students, singing duets and songs in various languages. Her involvement in their early careers provides invaluable support.
To showcase her students' operatic abilities, Fidan Hajiyeva, along with one of her students, delivered an exceptional performance of the "Askar and Gulchohra's aria" from Uzeyir Hajibayov's opera "Arshin Mal Alan,". June 11, 2017, marking the Music Center's one-year anniversary, a concert program titled "New Voices" was presented at the Azerbaijan State Song Theater, named after Rashid Behbudov. This program was distinct in terms of the audience size, performances, and genres. Notable performances included Elchin Aliyev's rendition of "Nessun Dorma" from Giacomo Puccini's opera "Turandot" and Nazrin Hasanzada's performance of the aria "Habanera" from George Bizet's "Carmen."
Fidan Hajiyeva's student Elchin Aliyev, who became the director of the center on August 9, 2017, officially renamed the center to "Vocal Music Center named after Fidan Hajiyeva." On October 3, 2017, Elchin Aliyev played a pivotal role in elevating the center's status to a "school" and was appointed as the school's first director.
October 20, 2018, at the Azerbaijan State Academic Philharmonic named after Muslim Magomayev, People's Artist Fidan Hajiyeva, alongside students of the Vocal Music School, presented a concert program titled "Duet." This event was a testament to the hard work and preparation that the students had undertaken during the summer. The concert featured works by Azerbaijani and world composers and included participants spanning from 5 years old to various age groups, even one student at 67. It was a significant occasion for Fidan Hajiyeva, who sought to support her students in their early artistic journeys.
November 7, 2022, a concert celebrating the 5th anniversary of Fidan Hajiyeva Vocal Music School and the first anniversary of the "Mezzo" women's orchestra took place at the International Mugham Center (IMC). Fidan Hajiyeva, a soloist of the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater, commenced the concert with a rendition of the romance "Sevgili Janan" by the legendary Uzeyir Hajibeyli. The event served as an opportunity to acknowledge November 8 - Victory Day, a significant milestone in Azerbaijani history, celebrated in honor of the historic Victory achieved by the brave Army under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev. The evening featured outstanding performances by students from Fidan Hajiyeva's Vocal Music School and the debut of the "Mezzo" women's orchestra. Inspired by Fidan Hajiyeva's opening words, the students displayed their exceptional talents one after the other, ensuring the audience left with a true sense of Victory.
