Bizet’s opera Carmen is of particular importance for the Korean audience. As for me, this part is one of the most important and beloved parts in my repertoire", Tatyana Vitsinskaya notes. 

It was a great honour for me to represent Kazakhstan abroad. After the performances, a meeting and a photoset with the audience were organized, where it became clear that they highly appreciated my performance and professionalism. We have already outlined other projects for the future, which will remain a secret for now".

Together with the Academy of Soloists State Chamber Orchestra, I took part in concerts where classical music by European composers was performed. I performed opera arias by Verdi, Donizetti, Bizet", the opera singer said. "As our performances were held in the southern cities of Italy: Sorrento, Salerno, Matera and others, it was impossible to do without Italian songs performed in the Neapolitan dialect. They were received by the audience with great enthusiasm. Concerts are held in open air in Italy in the summer, which creates a special aura and zest. Our artists performed brilliantly and were highly praised by the Italian audience".

We went to such cities as Kurchatov, Ridder, Serebryansk, Altai, where we performed classical works, popular Neapolitan songs and songs by Kazakh authors. On August 10, the birthday of the great Abai, we performed in Semei with the Symphony Orchestra of the Akim of the East Kazakhstan Region. Artists of other musical genres took part in concerts with us: Roza Rymbayeva, Aizhan Nurmagambetova, Zhanna Orynbassarova and many others", Astana Opera’s opera company director Azamat Zheltyrguzov shared. 

We received tremendous impressions, because it is not often that we get to travel to remote areas of Kazakhstan, but this helps us to get to know our country better. We were lucky enough to visit the native places of Abai: the village of Karaaul and the tract of Zhedibai, the museum of Mukhtar Auezov. We participated in a round table with writers in the Central Museum of Semei. We were entranced by the beauty of these places, captivated by the warm welcome. We received a very important energy supply, which gives us strength in the new theatrical season".
