«Dynamic involvement in art is observed in youth» – Kuzembayev V.

The «Astana Ballet» Theater makes its contribution to the implementation of the program «Ruhani Zhangyru», which was developed based on the provisions of the Head of State’s article «Prospection: modernization of public consciousness».

New creative achievements, successful tours, both in foreign countries and in cities of Kazakhstan, productive cooperation with representatives of foreign theaters – all this has a positive effect on the country’s external image policy, promoting achievements of national culture and historical heritage, and thereby strengthening its position in the international cultural space. It should be noted that all the performances of the «Astana Ballet» Theater are held with a constant full house and cause genuine interest in the domestic and foreign public.

At the same time, «Astana Ballet» does not stop at what has been accomplished, constantly expanding the repertoire and geographical list of its tours. Thus, in the outgoing year, the theater with great success brought to the attention of its audience the premiere of the romantic ballet by Adolf Adan, the pearl of the world ballet repertoire «Giselle». The performance, well known not only to ballet fans, but also to every person, even a person who is far from the art of dance, served as a great experience in studying classical canons of dance. In the performance of the guest choreographer of the theater Ricardo Amarante, it acquired some expression, lightness and naturalness.

Also, on November 2-3, 2018, the one-act neoclassical ballet to the music of Italian composer Ezio Bosso «Love’s Lost Idols» was presented to the attention of Kazakhstan viewers. The author of the performance is the famous American choreographer of the United States, director and innovator Nicolo Fonte.

As part of the implementation of the program «Ruhani Zhangyru», in the last year the «Astana Ballet» Theater made a tour of Kazakhstan cities such as Kyzylorda, Almaty, Taldykorgan and Aktau. Also, under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Astana Ballet Theater presented the choreographic art of various genres in New York (USA), Milan (Italy) and the Principality of Monaco within the framework of the project «Modern Kazakhstan Culture in the Global World». The tour program includes the best images of choreographic art in the neoclassical style and a delightful combination of national dances.

Possibilities of «Astana Ballet», according to the director of the theater Valeriy Kuzembayev, allow Astana city to become a platform for holding large international competitions of classical and modern art. By the way, in 2018, the 2nd International Ballet Festival «Eurasian dance festival» was held in the capital of Kazakhstan. It was attended by the troupe of the State Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet named after Abai, the National Ballet of China, the legendary Spanish troupe «Castro Romero», the National Ballet of Slovenia, as well as world ballet stars and leading soloists of the National Ballet of Portugal and Holland, the Bolshoi Theater (Russia), Stuttgart Ballet, the «Theater «Astana Ballet» and State Opera and Ballet Theatre «Astana Opera».

«We can say with confidence that the festival, held as part of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Astana city, has become one of the large-scale and significant events in the cultural life of the country. The interaction of cultures clearly manifested in the festival program, in the same year, it was extremely interesting and intense. The full house was guaranteed to all the days of the dance forum, as the tickets were bought in advance», – said Kuzembayev Valeriy.

A rich theatrical year 2018, according to the director of the theater «Astana Ballet», will continue in the new year 2019, which has already been designated by the Head of State as the «Year of Youth».

«I want to note that every year there is a steady and exact growth of interest in high art, our audience is becoming much younger, which means a very good involvement of young people in art», – shared Kuzembayev Valeriy.

He noted that this year «Astana Ballet» will make a significant contribution to the implementation of the Article «Seven Facets of the Great Steppe», where great importance is attached to national history and the development of the cultural sphere. At this moment, under the direction of the chief choreographer of the theater Mukaram Avakhri, rehearsals are held on the stage of the capital’s theater to prepare for the premiere of the first historical film-ballet in history of Kazakhstan «Beibars»

Besides, the nearest plans of the theater include the premieres of the genius work of Yury Grigorovich, one of the greatest Russian choreographers of the twentieth century, to the music of Arif Melikov, «The Legend of Love» and a masterpiece by an outstanding modern choreographer Raimondo Rebeck «A journey of a memory». A pleasant end of the year will be the premiere of the two-act ballet «Cinderella» to the music of Sergei Prokofiev staged by Russian choreographer, chief choreographer of the State Chamber Music Theater «St. Petersburg Opera» by Nadezhda Kalinina.

In addition, during the year, the «Astana Ballet» Theater will give its audience expressive choreographic miniatures. One of the first will be «Silent Voices» to the music of String Quartet No. 14 in D minor «Death and the Maiden» by Austrian composer Franz Schubert directed by Ricardo Amarante. In his miniature, set in the neoclassical style, the choreographer, using the means of plastic language, talks about the voices that a person hears inside. Invisible interlocutors convey an inner emotional state, a person’s experience, confusion or fear, hope or doubt. Using the expressive capabilities of the performers’ bodies and the original lighting solution, the choreographer creates an organic, emotional and informative and, at the same time, rich dance drama.

The tour schedule of the Theater for 2019 is also rich. On February 23-24, the theater troupe will perform on the stage of the Karaganda Drama Theater named after Stanislavsky with a unique tour program, «Masterpieces of the World Ballet». In summer, the theater plans to visit the city of Atyrau. The geography of foreign tours this year is also extensive: Great Britain, Germany, Lithuania and Uzbekistan.

«I am sure that this year should bring the national and modern art of Kazakhstan to new heights. Many plans are already clear, but our theater is more known for surprises and suddenness – we will talk about them all the year 2019», – Kuzembayev Valeriy added in conclusion.
