The art album "89 years of Kazakh ballet" was presented at the Abay KazNTOB by Associate Professor of the Art Management Department of the Conservatory Damir Urazymbetov and doctoral student Togzhan Moldalim. The album was made at the expense of a grant from the Nursultan Nazarbayev Foundation and artistically represents scenes from all national performances staged in musical theaters and choreographic troupes of Kazakhstan since the first production in 1938.  The artist of 65 colorful paintings was Zhannat Baimukhanova, the designer of the book was Guzel Nurimbetova.

The album makes a great contribution to the dissemination and systematization of the cultural heritage of our country. The book is compiled in three languages ​​and contains brief descriptions of performances, premiere dates and information about ballet production teams.

Over the 90-year history of its existence, the ballet theater has absorbed a wealth of creative solutions invented by librettists, composers, directors, choreographers, artists, and also embodied by talented performers. A lot of this is reflected in the album.
