For the first time, Kazakhstan participated in
one of the largest parades in Asia —the Chingay Parade. Artists from the Astana
Opera theater traveled to Singapore to showcase the country’s national art. A
unique program was specially prepared for the event, featuring both vocal and
choreographic performances. Notably, the annual costumed street procession is
held as part of the Lunar New Year celebrations. This year, the parade was
dedicated to the 60th anniversary of Singapore’s independence. The Kazakh
artists’ performance took place with the support of the Kazakh Embassy in
Singapore. Experts note that their participation highlights the growing global
promotion of Kazakh culture. The spectacular parade, held for more than half a
century, annually brings together thousands of actors, musicians, dancers, and
other creative groups from around the world.
«After months of negotiations and online
meetings with the Singaporean side, our performances were approved, and we were
included among the countries participating in the Chingay Parade. We arrived
with a group of talented artists from Astana Opera. I was delighted to
represent Kazakhstan alongside my colleagues at this grand event,» said Astana
Opera Theater artist and project manager Zhanar Abdrakhmanova.
