Tajikistan: Despite hard times Opera-Ballet to reopen for Novruz
eurasianet.org
Tajikistan’s Opera-Ballet is scheduled to re-open in connection with the Novruz holiday. On the playbill: Sharofiddin Saifiddinov’s 1975 opera “Rudaki,” which commemorates the life and work of the 9th century Persian poet born in what is now Tajikistan.
By the late Soviet period, the building was in an advanced state of decay due to decades of neglect. The moment of its salvation came in 2003, following a performance of the opera “Rustam and Sohrab,” which draws on the work of the 11th century Persian poet Abdulqasim Firdowsi. Tajik President Imomali Rahmon happened to be in attendance, and was appalled to find the theater in such decrepit condition. The president is said to have decided that immediate action was needed to save the facility, when he witnessed an equipment malfunction during the performance.
