An unforgettable ballet evening featuring Astana Opera\u2019s dancers awaits the residents and guests of the capital on June 28. A renewed program, consisting of miniatures by contemporary national and foreign choreographers and pas de deux from classical ballets, accompanied by the opera house\u2019s symphony orchestra, and Raimondo Rebeck\u2019s one-act production\u00a0How Long Is Now?<\/em>, will make the hearts beat faster.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every stage performance of the Astana Opera Ballet Company is a priceless gift for the high art aficionados. The dancers under the direction of the People\u2019s Artist of Russia Altynai Asylmuratova are diligently preparing for the long-awaited meeting with the viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new gala ballet program is rich and diverse. It includes numbers that are varied in their character and style. The Honoured Worker of Kazakhstan Madina Basbayeva and Daniyar Zhumatayev (debut) will perform the Seventh Waltz from the ballet Chopiniana<\/em> to Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin\u2019s music. Duet from the ballet Carmen<\/em> in Roland Petit\u2019s choreography to Georges Bizet\u2019s music will be presented by the Honoured Worker of Kazakhstan Gaukhar Ussina and Zhanibek Akhmediyev, and it will be his first time taking the stage in this role for the latter. Pas de deux from Boris Asafyev\u2019s ballet Flames of Paris<\/em> will feature Shugyla Adepkhan (debut) and Serik Nakyspekov, pas de deux from Ludwig Minkus\u2019 Don Quixote<\/em> \u2013 Madina Basbayeva and Arman Urazov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honoured Worker of Kazakhstan Aigerim Beketayeva and Daler Zaparov\u2019s touching performance of a duet from the national ballet The Call of the Steppe<\/em> to Renat Gaisin\u2019s music in Patrick de Bana\u2019s choreography and a sensual number Qily Zaman<\/em> to the music of the ethno-folklore ensemble Turan, presented by Sultanbek Gumar, awaits the viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duet from Raimondo Rebeck\u2019s ballet Beethoven \u2013 Immortal \u2013 Love<\/em>, prepared by Aigerim Beketayeva and Daler Zaparov, will be bright and memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe part I am presenting in this duet is abstract. The production was staged by Raimondo Rebeck, and in general it is one of my favorite ballets. I appreciate his works for their aesthetics, plastique, and special vision of scenes in the ballet. The choreography and the selection of musical material are very close to me. All this helps me, as a performer, to convey the ballet master\u2019s idea. I have not performed this part for a very long time, so there will definitely be new zest in it,\u201d Aigerim Beketayeva shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The famous German choreographer is also the author of the ballet How Long Is Now?<\/em>. The production will conclude the gala ballet evening. Raimondo Rebeck is known for his fresh take on contemporary choreography. A teacher, choreographer, laureate of prestigious national and international competitions, he is in great demand and actively collaborates with ballet companies around the world. Raimondo Rebek has worked with Roland Petit, Maurice B\u00e9jart, Rudolf Nureyev, Yvette Chauvir\u00e9, Altynai Asylmuratova, Hans van Manen, Ji\u0159\u00ed Kyli\u00e1n and other famous choreographers and dancers. It is worth noting that the German specialist is preparing one of the most exciting premieres of the upcoming anniversary season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victor Carare created the sets for the production of How Long Is Now?<\/em> according to Raimondo Rebeck\u2019s design sketches. Lighting designer is Carlo Cerri and Arassel Dosmuratova worked on the costumes based on Raimondo Rebeck\u2019s design sketches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production of How Long Is Now?<\/em> raises philosophical questions related to the meaning of existence. Three pairs of dancers illustrate various stages of a person\u2019s life, formulating the answer to the difficult question why memories of various life events can either last an eternity or a single moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the one-act ballet, the parts will be performed by: Time \u2013 Arman Urazov, Youth \u2013 Shugyla Adepkhan and Aibar Toktar, Adulthood \u2013 Anastasia Zaklinskaya and Olzhas Tarlanov, Maturity \u2013 Moldir Shakimova and Daler Zaparov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that the main distinguishing feature of the gala program is that within the framework of one evening, the audience can \u2018attend\u2019 several ballets at once, witnessing tender and pure love, passion and enmity, philosophize and reflect together with the performers on the main issues of humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
