Parviz Hejazi, pre-revolutionary cinema producer and owner of “Baccarat Cabaret”

Features of Baccarat

  • Star Performers: The cabaret regularly hosted famous singers and up-and-coming talents. It became a hub where audiences could discover the next big star of Iran’s music scene.

  • Family Access: Unlike some exclusive nightclubs, Baccarat allowed family members to attend free of charge, making it slightly more open than other high-end cabarets.

  • Cultural Blend: The performances often combined Persian pop music with Western styles, reflecting the hybrid cultural atmosphere of the time.

  • Location: Situated on Tehran’s central boulevard, Baccarat was easily accessible and strategically placed next to a major cinema, amplifying its role as a cultural hotspot.

The Baccarat quickly gained fame and became a symbol of Tehran’s nightlife, competing with other cabarets in the capital while carving out a loyal audience base.
