Omarova M.G. School №12
Daghestanis are now creating for themselves new forms
of national art – opera, ballet, symphonic music.
The important contribution to the development of
modern national art in Daghestan has been made by the
composers:G.Gasanov, M.Kazhlaev, S.Agababov,
Sh.Chalaev, N.Dagirov, S.Kerimov. Some of their works
are well known outside the republic.
The 1st Daghestan ballet “Mountain Girl” by M.Kazhlaev
was performed at the Kirov (now the Mariinsky Theatre )
in Leningrad. Three representations of Daghestan peoples
help to create it: composer M.Kazhlaev, a Lak; conductor
Gemal dalgat, a Dargin; and the poet R.Gamzatov, an
Avar. The choreographer was Russian – Oleg Vinogradov.
