Tatar composer Rezeda Akhiyarova’s opera “Love of the poet” have become a real monument to the work of the poet Gabdulla Tukay. The first night took place on November 18, 2006 in Kazan. 

The name of Gabdulla Tukay (1886-1913) is known not in Tatarstan only but also far beyond its borders. He is known by everyone who appreciates Art and who loves Poetry. Creative work of Tukay is multifaceted: he is a poet and a publicist, a literary critic and a public figure. He did as much for the development of the Tatar poetry and culture as a whole, as Pushkin did for the Russian poetry and culture. 

The basic plot of the opera is a love story of Gabdulla Tukay to Zaytuna Mavlyudova. Among real characters there are fictitious ones in the opera. They are Azrail, an angel of death, Shurale and Apush, in whom young Tukay is represented. Azrail is a religious character that pursued Tukay all his life. 

Traditional sets are absent in this performance. Special screens, where the epoch of Tukay is created with the help of projectors, are installed. Mikhail Pandjavidze, a production director of the Bolshoy Theatre, have become the author of such an innovation. In addition, all the technical opportunities of the stage are used. Thus it always changes its relief and as a result the traditional static nature of opera disappears and the performance becomes an alive creature of many faces.
