This is a very important event for the young opera house, which has been writing its history for six years. Now the Chamber Hall repertoire has become even more diverse. Piccolo Chamber Theatre is a creative laboratory where students, recent graduates, young vocalists can hone their craft together with accomplished opera singers.There is a full house in the auditorium. Interesting action began to unfold under the house lights in an intimate chamber atmosphere. According to the plot, Giulia (Zhannat Baktay, Saltanat Akhmetova), ​​the ward of Dormont (Ramzat Balakishiyev, Ruslan Sovet), is already secretly married to Dorvil (Zhan Tapin, Damir Saduakhassov), who climbs up into his wife’s bedroom every night on a silken ladder. Dormont wants to marry his ward off to Blansac (Yevgeniy Chainikov). Giulia’s cousin Lucilla (Saltanat Muratbekova, Malika Minisini), in turn, is in love with Blansac. Upon hearing that Giulia was expecting her husband at night, the guileless servant Germano (Sundet Baigozhin), believing that it was Blansac, hurries to inform him that the silken ladder will be lowered down for him...Time and again, the heroes found themselves in comedic situations, to which the audience reacted very vividly, responding with laughter and rounds of applause. Talented young vocalists and the sought-after masters of the opera art not only conveyed the subtle vocal nuances of their parts, but, since this is a farce, simultaneously expressed various emotions using facial expressions, expressive gestures, and playful looks. The listeners were very excited, as the artists were in constant movement, running, hiding and appearing at the most unexpected moments. Italian Stage Director Ala Simonishvili’s flawless work was rather noteworthy: she has built the geography of the performance in such a way that every corner of the stage was filled with life, as if the action took place on a Venetian square.Zhannat Baktay and Saltanat Akhmetova interpreted the main character each in her own way, through the prism of their own personalities and life experience. Both artists showed excellent mastery of the Rossini style and exceptional acting skills on different premiere days. They used their fans deftly and moved around the stage gracefully. Zhan Tapin and Damir Saduakhassov successfully portrayed Giulia’s love interest in this production. The tenors’ vocals were at a high level, just as it was for the baritones Sundet Baigozhin and Yevgeniy Chainikov. The audience could enjoy the masterful performance of these artists on both premiere days. In addition to brilliant vocals, Sundet Baigozhin showed tremendous acting talent, his portrayal had special magnetism. Evgeniy Chainikov created an interpretation of both comedic and charming hero-lover. It is clear that the part of Dormont was easy for Ramzat Balakishiyev and Ruslan Sovet, both artists were settled into their characters well. Wonderful mezzo-soprano singers Saltanat Muratbekova and Malika Minisini performed the part of Lucilla, demonstrating excellent bel canto technique.Magnificent scenery was created by the Set and Costume Designer from Italy Manana Gunia. She made the costumes and sets in the style of the Venetian carnival, more precisely in vein of Commedia dell’Arte, with its famous characters Il Capitano, Il Dottore, Arlecchino and others. The artists looked extraordinary in these costumes. Such incredible exoticism with a bright palette of colours was perceived by the audience in the still rather cold capital with wonder and delight. The sets, costumes and video projections created the atmosphere of warm Italy in the mid-18th century.The music in this opera was strictly dependent on the text. The orchestra musicians’ performance under the baton of Music Director and Conductor Abzal Mukhitdinov was brilliantly virtuosic and, as the orchestra was not in the orchestra pit, but in the auditorium, in close proximity to the listeners, the audience could feel like participants in the performance.The premiere that took place within the Year of Youth with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan was a great success. The listeners gave the artists long deafening applause. Thus, the creative project Piccolo Chamber Theatre received positive feedback from high art connoisseurs, as well as leading media, which means that it will have a long and happy scenic life.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/tsm/press/news/details/18371?lang=kk

Since the beginning of this year, several districts of the East Kazakhstan Region have switched to a new work schedule. The Katonkaragay district was the first to test this change - as a pilot project. Soon, 8 more districts were added to this system: Zaisan, Tarbagatay, Ulan, Kurchum, Markakol, Samar, Bolshoy Naryn and Altai.According to the new rules, state institutions and enterprises in these districts will work from 08:00 to 17:30. The lunch break is set from 12:00 to 13:30. And schools, kindergartens and medical institutions will continue to work according to the previous schedule, since their working hours are established in this format.In the Altai district, these changes affected not only state structures, but also the social sphere. The chairwoman of the district maslikhat Larisa Grechushnikova noted that this new system is very convenient for residents:It has been six months since the maslikhat of the Altai district switched to a new work mode. Since the employees have small children, they need to be taken to kindergarten at 8:00, they also need to be taken to school, and some live in private homes and have to get up early. In addition, industrial enterprises also start working at 8:00. Therefore, there is no difference in the work schedule between budgetary organizations, civil service and industrial enterprises. This is very convenient,” said Larisa Grechushnikova.Zinaida Natarova, a methodologist at the Dostyk House, also supported the decision.- “I support this decision, because for me, as a resident of the private sector, the extra hours spent on the garden plot are very important,” she said.Altai District Governor Renat Kurmambayev also supported this innovation, noting that the residents of the district fully approved the change in working hours:“Meetings on changing the work schedule were held in all settlements of the Altai District. The population supported the initiative to optimize working hours. These measures are aimed at improving the physical condition of employees and creating comfortable conditions for citizens,” said Renat Kurmambayev.The main goal of this innovation is to optimize work processes and improve coordination between districts. Taking into account the natural features of the region (early sunrise and sunset), this decision will allow for the effective use of daylight. This, in turn, will increase labor productivity and improve the quality of life of residents.The new work schedule has also come into force in the Ulan District. Meetings were held with local authorities, farm managers, and heads of educational institutions in this area. The akim of the Ulan district, Arman Bekbosynov, noted that the new schedule was unanimously supported by the population:“From today, a new work schedule has been introduced in our district. Meetings were held in 16 rural districts of the Ulan district with heads of farms, representatives of the state revenue department, police and defense departments, as well as civil servants and educational institutions. Regional departments and their deputies also participated in these meetings. A proposal to start the working day at 08:00 was made and was unanimously supported. Industrial enterprises and large agricultural structures will also work according to this schedule, which will make the work schedule of budgetary organizations more convenient. Schools, kindergartens and medical institutions will retain their previous work schedule,” said Arman Bekbosynov.“The new work schedule will allow you to pay more attention to household chores and garden care,” says Svetlana Klyuchnikova, librarian of the Ulan district.The new work schedule is also convenient for the population. As Rustem Aliyev, an employee of a local poultry farm, said:– It is now convenient for our family to go to work and the children to school at the same time, we all go out at the same time, and in the evening we do housework, spend time with the children, and find time for our family.This step is aimed at improving the organization of labor in the East Kazakhstan region, increasing the quality of life, and creating a harmonious working environment for all residents.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/akimvko/press/news/details/954976

"Tourism should be a sector that gives a new impetus to economic growth. There are places of interest in every region of our country. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately begin work on building the necessary infrastructure, attracting private investors."Kasym-Jomart TokayevPresident of the Republic of KazakhstanAs a result of systematic measures being implemented in the tourism sector in the country, both the number of tourists visiting Kazakhstan and our position in the world ranking are improving significantly. For example, according to the World Economic Forum's Travel and Tourism Development Index, Kazakhstan ranked 52nd out of 119 countries in the list of tourist destinations. In the previous index, Kazakhstan was ranked 66th.Last year, 15.3 million foreign guests visited Kazakhstan for tourism purposes, excluding those who came for work or permanent residence. Of these, 10.4 million people stayed in the country for more than one day and were classified as foreign tourists. According to official statistics, the average length of stay of foreign guests in our country is 4 days. According to the National Bank, tourists from far abroad spend an average of 1,500 US dollars during their visit to Kazakhstan. In 2024, foreign tourists spent more than 1.2 trillion tenge on the territory of our country. It can be observed that the volume of investments in fixed assets in the tourism sector is steadily growing. The volume of investments in the industry for 2019-2024 is as follows:2019 - 502 billion tenge2020 - 629 billion tenge2021 - 593 billion tenge2022 - 513 billion tenge2023 - 787 billion tenge2024 – 947.5 billion tengeIn the period from 2019 to 2024, more than 605 investment projects were implemented in the tourism sector for a total amount of 550 billion tenge, including 87 investment projects successfully completed in 2024.Among the major investment projects, we can highlight the Makhambet hotel in Shymkent (project cost – 4.9 billion tenge), the Keremet Park family park in Atyrau region (3 billion tenge), as well as the Ak-Zhaiyk recreation area in Almaty region (1.8 billion tenge).In addition, last year, on the instructions of Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, a new type of visa called Neo Nomad was introduced. This visa is intended for modern nomads - foreign tourists who travel and work remotely. When introducing the new visa regime, the international experience of more than 50 countries that have successfully used such programs after the pandemic was taken into account.Foreign tourists who have received a Neo Nomad visa have the opportunity to stay in Kazakhstan for up to a year. During this time, they can work in foreign companies. This is expected to not only allow tourists to get to know the culture and lifestyle of the country better, but also benefit the country's economy. If the visa is introduced and 500 people receive it per year, the economic impact will be approximately 3.6 billion tenge. Foreign citizens using the visa will live in Kazakhstan and spend their money here. However, it will not affect the domestic labor market.
