Ticket price: from 3 to 8 US$ Built from 1939 to 1947 with a break during WWII. The Architect was Alexey Viktorovich Shchusev People's artists of Uzbekistan Usta Shirin Muradov, A.Khudaibergenov, Kh.Boltaev and others showed their great skills in decorating the theatre. According to the author of the project each of the six side foyers has got an architectural decor typical of this or that province of Uzbekistan. The Tashkent hall, the Bukhara hall, the Khorezm hall , the Samarkand hall, the Fergana hall, the Termez hall — they all have their own style and peculiarities. For instance the masters chose and applied such a unique decor technique as carving on alebaster called "gunch" on top of the mirror surface. This element of decoration was for the first time used in the construction of the Bukhara Emir' palace. The Theater with the nice fountain in front and the square with trees is a nice a quiet place in the center of the Russian style modern part of Tashkent. There is the old Tashkent Palace Hotel opposit and a big departement store. The square and the inside of theatre are worth a visit! I feel a bit sorry, that I did not have the opportunity to see a performance, as I have heard they are very good. |
