“If we compile a list of the five best Italian operas, G. Puccini’s La Bohème will certainly be among them, so we decided to choose the popular work of an outstanding composer for the tour. G. Puccini talks about the real life of ordinary people of his time, and for over a century this opera remains one of the best in the world repertoire. The opera house’s company is assiduously preparing for the performance, as we want to give a real celebration to the public of Karaganda. I would also like to note that on May 27 we are expecting a reciprocal tour of our colleagues from Karaganda. At the Astana Opera Main Hall, they will present a concert From Karaganda, With Love, featuring striking symphonic masterpieces of the twentieth century composers,” said the Director of the Astana Opera, Honored Worker of Kazakhstan Galim Akhmedyarov.Honored Artist of Kazakhstan Zhannat Baktai will perform the role of Mimi, Rodolfo – Honored Worker of Kazakhstan Nurlan Bekmukhambetov, Marcello – Honored Worker of Kazakhstan Talgat Mussabayev, Schaunard – Yevgeny Chainikov, Colline – Shyngys Rassylkhan, Musetta – Honored Artist of Bashkortostan Alfiya Karimova, Alcindoro – Bolat Yessimkhanov, Benoit – Talgat Galeyev, Parpignol – Beimbet Tanarykov, Sergeant – Nurlybek Kosparmakov.La Bohème is an Italian opera, distinguished by an amazing subtlety of feelings. Its action takes place in the Parisian Latin Quarter on the Christmas Eve. All the characters are young. They are poor intellectuals, inhabitants of the Parisian garret: the poet Rodolfo, painter Marcello, musician Schaunard and philosopher Colline. Poverty is their constant life companion, but they do not lose courage and have fun even when there is no rent money to pay their landlord or no firewood for the fireplace. There is a place for joy, poetry, friendship and love in the daily life of these young people.Let us remind that the first tour of the Astana Opera to Karaganda took place on April 20 and 21, 2017, when K. Orff’s outstanding work – the cantata Carmina Burana and a Gala Concert were presented to the Karaganda audience.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/tsm/press/news/details/27791?lang=kk

This was the main message of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Mr. Kairat Abdrakhmanov, speaking today in Astana at the opening of the international conference “25 Years of European Union - Central Asia Relations: From the Past to the Future".Mr. Peter Burian, the European Union Special Representative for Central Asia, together with a delegation from the European External Action Service, public sector representatives, non-governmental organizations, the diplomatic corps, and experts from renowned research centers and universities from Kazakhstan, Central Asia and Europe are among the conference attendees, which was organized as part of the process to update the EU Strategy for Central Asia first adopted in 2007.In his address to the conference the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan, Mr. Kairat Abdrakhmanov, noted that “Kazakhstan supports the decision of the European Union to update the EU Strategy for Central Asia and is ready to make concrete proposals on its actualization".It is expected that this program document will be published by the middle of 2019.

In this regard, the development of private entrepreneurship, small and medium business, and transport and logistics infrastructure were identified as priority areas for cooperation.“We suggest for the EU to develop new mechanisms that will help attract private European capital to various projects in Central Asia.

Taking into account the latest global developments, digitalization was also named as a special priority for cooperation.Speaking about the development of the region's transit and transport potential, the Foreign Minister noted that Central Asia should not remain simply as a transit hub.

“We have been preparing for this concert for about two months already. The new program features various numbers, including the march from G. Bizet’s opera Carmen, the Kazakh folk song Yapyrai, as well as an excerpt from G. Puccini’s opera Turandot, which will be premiering very soon at the Main Hall. Partly we will show the repertoire from the V theatrical season. There are kids in our studio who have been studying from the moment of its opening until today, and there are children who came here about two or three years ago. The pupils of the children’s studio, who are studying and performing at the Astana Opera for all these five years, set the level for the collective. These guys aspire to make the high art their profession, many of them have already decided for themselves that their future careers will be connected with the opera house,” says the head of the children’s choir Altynganym Akhmetova.In this concert, many boys will be performing solo numbers for the first time. The boys from the younger group will perform the popular repertoire of the Italian singer Robertino Loretti: Santa Lucia, O Sole Mio, Funiculì, Funiculà and others. Girls from the older group prepared a complex program, they will present polyphonic works. Young dancers of the ballet studio prepared a rich program. Thus, the evening will feature such numbers as the Kazakh folk dance Sholpy, a variation from J. Bayer’s ballet Die Puppenfee (The Fairy Doll), a polka from L. Minkus’ ballet La Bayadère, Kitri’s variation from L. Minkus’ ballet Don Quixote and much more.The goal of the Astana Opera Children’s Studio is to enable children to discover their creative potential and develop their talents.“The young artists reached the first anniversary with great achievements: the studio graduates are already studying at universities in Kazakhstan, near and far abroad. Young singers and dancers participate in concert programs, opera and ballet productions and even go on tour together with adult artists. The children who have a great interest in art, good scenic qualities and musical abilities are engaged in the studio. The youngest studio artists today are 7 years old. It is very important for us to help children express their individual personalities to the full. If the child consciously chooses the profession of an artist or a musician, he or she will have very high achievements. If they do not follow this path, they will undoubtedly have achievements in other areas, because, thanks to acting skills, acquired in childhood, they will become unselfconscious and free. All this helps them to achieve greater goals in their adult years,” explains the stage director of the Astana Opera Natalya Kagadiy.The audience can see the pupils of the choir studio in Y. Brussilovsky’s opera Kyz Zhibek, M. Tulebayev’s Birzhan – Sara, G. Puccini’s Tosca and La Boheme, G. Bizet’s Carmen.

There are big-name theatrical figures on the production team: Music Director and Conductor – Honored Worker of Kazakhstan, celebrated maestro Alan Buribayev, Stage Director – famous Italian director Davide Livermore, Set and Costume Designers – well-known Kazakhstani designers Sofya Tasmagambetova and Pavel Dragunov.The opera Turandot was performed for the first time on April 25, 1926 in Milan. Giuseppe Adami and Renato Simoni wrote the libretto based on the eponymous play by C. Gozzi. They set their story in an exotic distant country: the action takes place in Beijing (China). The stunningly beautiful Princess Turandot gives three riddles to the princes. If they fail to solve the three riddles, they are beheaded, and whoever finds the answers will be given her hand in marriage. Prince Calaf decides to woo Turandot at any cost, and, after answering all of her questions, asks her his riddle – to guess his name.In C. Gozzi’s fairytale, the composer G. Puccini saw a protest against violence and the eternal idea of ​​the victory of light over the darkness.“I think this is a very important production for the Astana Opera. Incidentally, not every opera house can afford to add such a grand opera, which involves a huge number of artists, to its repertoire. Turandot completes a glorious tradition of Italian operas, which lasted and developed for 300 years. Over the years, G. Puccini has come a long way to this opera, and it can be called the culmination of the composer’s findings. Such operas were no longer created in the entire international community. The choir plays a very important role here, it is constantly onstage, - said the Music Director and Conductor Alan Buribayev.Maestro A. Buribayev has known the stage director for a long time, but this will be their first joint work. The Principal Conductor of the Astana Opera speaks warmly about Davide Livermore. Let us remind that the director Davide Leavermore during his 22-year career at the leading European venues and in the opera houses of his native Italy mastered many theatrical specialties: stage director, set, costume and lighting designer... He has worked with outstanding performers, among them Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, Mirella Freni, with famous directors – Luca Ronconi, Andrei Tarkovsky and Zhang Yimou, as well as with the world-renowned maestro Zubin Mehta. One of the last works of the Italian director – G.F. Handel’s opera Tamerlano was a triumphant success at the legendary Teatro alla Scala.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/tsm/press/news/details/27742?lang=kk

Human rights defenders and representatives of NGOs familiarized the staff of the penitentiary system with the experience of a number of foreign countries.The pilot project of "Prison for rehabilitation", approved by the akimat of Karaganda region will be implemented during the first quarter of 2018.Press service of the CES Committee of the MIA of the RK   Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/qriim/press/news/details/27729?lang=kk

The results of the large-scale operational preventive action "Bus" conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs along with the Ministry of Investment and Development were summed up.Passenger transport is an integral part of the unified transport system of the country and the issues of safety of passenger transportation on roads are always relevant", Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Yerlan Turgumbayev said. "And it's not accidental that every year there are more than 500 transport incidents, which kill about 60 people and injure more than 800 people."Analysis of accidents on passenger transport shows that the reasons for the situation are primarily in the low transport discipline of the drivers themselves, the lack of appropriate targeted preventive work and control by officials responsible for the release of passenger vehicles on the line. During the action 190 bus park officials were fined for more than 5.7 million tenge for such violations.Totally during the operation police officers detected and suppressed over 19 thousand violations committed by public transport drivers, including 166 violations of the labor and rest regime, 245 - drivers without a certificate, 594 - the absence of compulsory insurance of civil liability of the carrier to passengers, 1 135 - speeding, more than 3.5 thousand facts of using the phone while driving a vehicle, 195 facts of illegal transportation of passengers. "14 facts were revealed when drivers of buses, who are responsible not only for themselves, but also for their passengers, managed to drive in a state of intoxication. Moreover, there are facts when the bus driver was arrested while driving in drug intoxication," Deputy minister said. "So, in Aktobe oblast, a bus driver was detained, who was in a state of drug intoxication, while he was serving the city route and there were passengers in the bus."As the results of the peacekeeping operations it showed that almost every sixth of the tested vehicle is technically faulty, while more than half of them had a mark about their pre-trip monitoring. 312 facts of illegal re-equipment were revealed, including numerous facts when seats were simply removed and turned into sleeping reclining places or even into cargo holdings. For example, in Karaganda region, when police stopped a bus that was traveling from Almaty to Ekibastuz, it turned out that the whole rear sector was converted under the bed, and the driver did not have the necessary permits and a license.In addition, during the peacekeeping operation 65 buses were identified with an unprecedented pre-trip inspection, 780 bus control facts that did not pass mandatory technical inspection.The revealed violations testify to the absence of unified requirements for the organization of non-scheduled traffic and the formal pre-trip inspection of a vehicle on the ground.Based on the results of the operational preventive action, the Ministry of Internal Affairs  developed proposals to improve the safety and comfort of passenger transportation on road, which will be sent to the MIR as the authorized body in the field of transport and communications for their further implementation.Press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan   Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/qriim/press/news/details/27728?lang=kk
