The Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan continues large-scale work on the reconstruction and renovation of historical theaters, including the Mukhtar Auezov Kazakh National Drama Theater, which will carry out major repairs for the first time since its construction. The deterioration of the engineering networks and the material and technical base of the theater has reached a critical 90%, creating a high risk of fires and limiting the use of only 53% of the usable area. Despite this, the reconstruction will be carried out with respect to the historical appearance of the theater, given its status as a cultural monument of local importance.
In parallel, the internal renovation of the building of the Kazakh National Opera and Ballet Theater named after Abai is underway, which is carried out thanks to sponsorship funds. Seven rooms have already been renovated, including orchestra and choir halls, a museum, dressing rooms, a reception hall, etc. Wax figures are also created to perpetuate the founders of the theater.
Significant changes are expected in the Natalia Sats State Academic Russian Theater for Children and Youth. The PSD for the overhaul of the building is already undergoing a state examination.
The Republican Academic German Drama Theater, located in the building of a former cinema, is also not ignored. The issue of repair and gasification of the theater is under consideration by the Ministry of National Economy.
The Ministry of Culture and Information also plans to conduct an examination of the building of the Gabit Musrepov State Academic Kazakh Theater for Children and Youth in 2025 to determine further steps for its overhaul.
It should be noted that in 2020, the overhaul of the Republican State Academic Uighur Musical Comedy Theater named after Kuddus Kuzhamyarov was completed, which was an important step in supporting the country's cultural heritage.
