Aisulu is a story close to every viewer.

Stage director Yerenbak Toikenov outlined the task of reviving the atmosphere of the 1960s-70s onstage and making it modern, understandable and exciting for viewers of different ages. Thanks to the artists’ skills and the impressive work of the entire production team, this goal was achieved.
Thus, the production was staged under the direction of conductor, People’s Artist of Kazakhstan Abzal Mukhitdin, stage director Yerenbak Toikenov, set and costume designers, Honoured Workers of Kazakhstan Sofya Tasmagambetova and Pavel Dragunov. Their joint efforts created a lively and colourful stage production. The performers of the main parts, opera company soloists, will once again give the audience unforgettable impressions.
