Making Opera in the Steppe: Early Soviet Musical Theatre in Kazakhstan, 1930-1950
Nari Shelekpayev explores the invention of opera in the Soviet Kazakhstan as both a political resource and a nation-building tool and its evolution in the 1930s. Using materials from Kazakh and Russian archives, he looks at the ways in which opera served to translate between the local and universal languages of music, and between highbrow and lowbrow genres of artistic performance. Find out more about his research here.
This talk is part of the TOSCCA/ONGC Seminar Series for Trinity Term 2022. Please find the full programme here.
