This week’s guide
April bursts in brightly: from ballet and vintage to poetry evenings and jazz. We've gathered 10 events for you that are definitely worth marking on your calendar.
Thursday
MUSIC
The ballet "The Brothers Karamazov"
Eifman takes Dostoevsky's classic and transforms it into a plastic drama, where the body expresses emotions on par with words. Passion, guilt, salvation, and the music of Rachmaninoff, Wagner, and Mussorgsky—all of this sounds and moves, amplifying the emotional perception of the performance. Entrance: from 100,000 soums
Alisher Navoi State Academic Bolshoi Theatre
COMMUNITY
Art Dinner "Thefts and Robberies in Art"
Why do stolen paintings become even more expensive, how does art inspire thieves, and who actually benefits from high-profile thefts — all this will be discussed over tea and dinner at the Kandinsky Art Club. Entry: 210,000 UZS
Falafel Restaurant
