A New Retelling of an Old Fairytale

Who does not love fairytales with a happily-ever-after ending? Astana Opera undertook staging the ballet Cinderella, and, what is more, set out to make the production interesting for both adults and children in equal measure. However, in order for the younger generation to be truly imbued with the story of a girl who was turned into a servant by her evil stepmother, the main character will be reincarnated as a fashion designer, and the prince will appear as a DJ. What the outcome will be, we will find out at the premiere on October 8 and 9.

World Star Opened Astana Opera’s Anniversary Season

The opening of Astana Opera’s tenth anniversary season was held to endless applause and shouts of ‘Bravo’. Graceful, unique, professionally innovative Korean opera star Sumi Jo cut a brilliant figure at the opera house’s Grand Hall along with Astana Opera’s magnificent singers Azamat Zheltyrguzov, Medet Chotabayev and Tatyana Vitsinskaya. The Gala Opera was a huge success under the baton of the world-famous maestro Alan Buribayev.

Successful Socio-Economic and Political Changes Are the Key to the Stability of the State

On September 1, the Astana Opera team carefully studied the State of the Nation Address of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to the people of Kazakhstan “Just State. United Nation. Prosperous Society”, which was announced at a joint meeting of both houses of parliament. The Head of State outlined important solutions on the way to the implementation of fundamental socio-economic and political tasks.

Charity Aid with School Supplies

Preparing for the school year is a difficult and costly event. Astana Opera with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan helped the capital’s low-income and large families in this difficult task as part of a charity event dedicated to September 1. The opera house’s volunteers delivered the gifts personally to the happy schoolchildren.
