Soloist of the Astana Opera International Opera Academy Guldana Aldadossova won a special prize at the prestigious Hibla Gerzmava International Opera Singers and Accompanists Competition, held at the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Theatre in Moscow.
The singer from Kazakhstan won over the jury with her amazing soprano and, in addition to the special prize, also received several offers to perform at the leading theatrical venues in Russia, the Astana Opera’s official website reads.
«The Astana Opera Academy attendees, who will complete their studies this summer, demonstrate great potential,» Galym Akhmedyarov, Astana Opera’s general director, Honored Worker of Kazakhstan, says. «We expect that soon they will come through as soloists of the best theatrical venues not only in Kazakhstan, but also in other countries, and will worthily represent the Kazakh opera art in the world. The young singers are already actively performing at Astana Opera, making their debut in opera productions abroad, and successfully participating in international competitions. Guldana Aldadossova is a very promising and ambitious performer, a talented and driven singer with a beautiful voice. I hope that receiving a special award from the world opera star Hibla Gerzmava will be another step in Guldana’s brilliant career. We sincerely congratulate her and wish her new success!»
