"110th Anniversary of the Birth of Kazakh Singer Kulyash Baiseitova"
Kulyash Zhasynovna Baiseitova (1912–1957) was a Soviet and Kazakh opera singer and dramatic actress.
Kulyash Zhasynovna Baiseitova (1912–1957) was a Soviet and Kazakh opera singer and dramatic actress. She was a two-time laureate of the Stalin Prize, Second Class (1948, 1949), a recipient of the Order of Lenin (1945), and a People's Artist of the USSR (1936).
The development of her natural gifts was noticeably influenced by her father, Zhasyn, a music lover. Her natural musical talent showed itself early.
From 1925 to 1928, she studied at the Almaty Pedagogical Technical School of the Institute of Education and took part in amateur musical performances.
In 1930, she entered the studio of the Kazakh Drama Theater (now the M.O. Auezov Kazakh State Academic Drama Theater). While studying acting and music theory, she played small episodic roles at the theater and soon after, leading roles.
Kulyash was made for the stage; she was able to delve subtly into the inner world of her heroines and convey it to the audience.
In 1933, she joined the company of the Musical Theater (now the Abai Kazakh Opera and Ballet Theater), where she performed until the end of her life.
The singer's musical and stage talent was vividly revealed in her creation of the character Aiman in the musical comedy "Aiman and Sholpan." The character Shuga in the musical drama demonstrated the singer's growing mastery, and the role of Zhibek allowed her to rise to the heights of classical opera. One of Kulyash's most outstanding performances is considered to be the role of Sara in M. Tolebaev's opera "Birzhan and Sara."
Kulyash Baiseitova displayed a versatile talent and the unique features of her performance. Her name was famous not only throughout the Soviet Union but also far beyond its borders.
