"Almost every year, the Astana Opera comes on tour to Karaganda, this is due to the close creative ties between the two cities. It is always a great pleasure for us to perform here. After all, Karaganda is not only a large industrial, scientific, but also a cultural center of the country. This visit is significant because we are closing the 41st concert season of the Karaganda Symphony Orchestra named after E. Rakhmadiev, wonderful soloists will take the stage with us – baritone Ayan Tolegen and tenor Merey Kadyrkhan," Yerzhan Dautov noted.   

It should be recalled that the Astana Opera is on tour in this city for the seventh time. Previously, the band presented opera in concert here on various stages, as well as a Gala concert, the cantata "Carmina Burana" by K. Orff. It was in Karaganda that the students of the Astana Opera International Opera Academy began their first tours. It is not surprising that Astana Opera performances are always met with full houses, and this arrival is no exception. And all this is because the band invariably amazes listeners with its professionalism, passion for art and magnificent performance of masterpieces of world musical classics.

The Astana Opera Choir is the winner of many prestigious international awards, including the gold medal received at the XI China International Choral Festival, as well as the brilliantly won first place at the International Competition "Hajnowka" (Poland) last year. Then the artists not only performed remarkably at the competition, taking the winning place, but also gave a large solo concert of music by Kazakhstani composers on a grand scale as part of the tour. 

Address: Karaganda, Kostenko str., 7

The concert starts on May 25 at 17:00
