KYZ-ZHIBEK

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful woman called Kyz-Zhibek. She was famous all over the world for both her beauty and her intelligence. Great kings and princes came to ask for her hand in marriage, but Kyz-Zhibek decided that she would only marry the man she truly fell in love with. Despite all their efforts and expensive gifts, none of them could capture her heart.

Far away across the steppe, there lived a handsome young man called Tolegen. After hearing the songs of Kyz-Zhibek's beauty, he had a strong desire to meet her. When his father, the wealthy Bazarbai, found out about Tolegen's plan, he was very angry because Tolegen's family and Kyz-Zhibek's family were great enemies. Besides, it was the tradition in those days that the father chose his son's bride for him.

However, Tolegen was strong-willed and wouldn't🎧Listen to his father. The next day he got on his horse and rode off to find Kyz-Zhibek. After riding for days, he arrived at her yurt where he saw the beautiful Kyz-Zhibek and they fell in love straight away. They promised each other that they would get married, despite the hatred between their families. The wicked Bekezhan, who was the leader of Kyz-Zhibek's tribe, was furious when he heard the news. He did not want her to marry Tolegen. "This man is the son of Bazarbai, one of our great enemies! I cannot allow Kyz-Zhibek to marry him!" he said.

Full of hatred, Bekezhan made a plan to kill Tolegen secretly. While the young man was travelling to meet his beloved, Bekezhan and his friends leapt out and attacked him. Tolegen fought bravely, but there were too many of them. After a long fight, the evil Bekezhan and his friends finally killed him. The young man's last words as he died were "Kyz-Zhibek!"

At that very moment, Kyz-Zhibek had a terrible dream. In her dream she was with Tolegen, but when she reached out to him, he disappeared. She woke up with her heart full of fear and ran quickly to her friends. She told them about her dream and they comforted her. "Don't worry about it – it's just a silly dream," they said.

Then, Bekezhan arrived with the news of Tolegen's death. When he told Kyz-Zhibek, she fell to the ground in horror. Her friends tried to calm the young woman, but she wouldn't🎧Listen to them. Her awful dream had come true and her beloved Tolegen was dead. The heartbroken Kyz-Zhibek left her yurt and walked alone across the steppe until she came to a high cliff. Unable to imagine living without Tolegen, the young woman jumped off the cliff to her death.

Kyz-Zhibek is a beautiful folk poem from Kazakhstan with a similar story to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. In 1934, the composer Yevgeny Brusilovsky and the poet Gabit Musirepov based the first ever Kazakh opera on the poem. Sultan Khodzhikov also made a film of the story in 1972. Years later, the Astana Opera, which opened in 2013, put on an extremely successful production of Brusilovsky's opera.
