Farkhad Buriyev has been dancing on the ballet stage for more than 19 years and has been wowing audiences at the Astana Ballet Theatre for 8 of those. His repertoire includes the roles of Albert in “Giselle”, the Prince in “The Nutcracker”, Ferkhad and the Vizier in “The Legend of Love”, Tybalt in “Romeo and Juliet”, John the Baptist in “Salomé” and Kutuz in “Sultan Baybars”, as well as leading roles in ballets by George Balanchine, William Forsythe, Raimondo Rebeck, Nicolo Fonte and others. Farhad Buriev performed both the tragic role of José and the sinister Corregidor in the “Carmen Suite”.

What makes this evening special is that our virtuosos will not only perform solos, but also take turns to stand at the conductor's podium. This creates a unique musical dialogue on stage.

A concert like this is truly rare!

The Language of Love” is a vivid and philosophical performance in which the acclaimed choreographer pays homage to the poetry of classic Kazakh literature through a combination of techniques and choreographic discoveries.

The Heritage of the Great Steppe concert program has become a signature performance of the theatre, both at home and abroad. The beauty and tenderness of the female dance in the productions of the Honored Figure of Kazakhstan, Aigul Tati, captivates and delights audiences.

“Two Carpets” is a story about the friendship of a girl, Leyla, and a boy, Samir, from Baku, which develops into a single love story, about separations and losses, about temptation and loyalty. Fate intervenes and sends Samir, who lost his memory after the war, to Vienna. He has Margot, a woman who loves him. But a stroke of luck and a carpet woven in his homeland help him remember his beloved and return to her.

The programme for the festive concert “Mangi Yel”, dedicated to Republic Day, will feature a selection of choreographic pieces that embody the invaluable richness and diversity of Kazakh traditional dance, which is inextricably linked to the history and culture of the Kazakh people. Thanks to the skill of the dancers and the imagination of the choreographers, the most important and most beautiful type of dance is presented on stage: bright, colourful and diverse folk stage dance. It is a kind of encyclopedia of the life of the people, a reflection of their aspirations, wisdom and perseverance.
