Gala Ballet

Dear guests!

In connection with the participation of the State Opera and Ballet Theatre “Astana Opera” in the pilot project Ashyq, we ask you to come to the performances in advance.

Please install the Ashyq application on your mobile device prior to visiting the Theatre.

Instructions:

1. Download and install the Ashyq application on your mobile device (App Store for iPhone, Google Play for Android).

2. Fill in your phone number and IIN.

3. When entering the Theatre, you have to select the ENTRANCE registration and scan the QR-code (ENTRANCE).

4. The system will determine the status of a visitor, which must be shown to the Theatre employee at the entrance.

Statuses:

Blue and Green – there are no restrictions on visiting our Theatre

Yellow – limited access to our Theatre, as they are exposed persons to COVID-19

Red – strictly limited access to our Theatre, as they must be on self-isolation or outpatient treatment.

If the visitor has a “red” or “yellow” status, then the visitor is not allowed into the Theatre and, before the start of the performance, he/she returns the purchased tickets if there is a screenshot of the status.

To date, an algorithm has been developed for the actions of officials of the disease control and the internal affairs bodies when revealing the facts of violation of self-isolation by infected persons.

This algorithm was approved by the Interdepartmental Commission on 7 December 2020. Administrative liability is envisaged for such persons in the form of a fine.

5. If the visitor does not have the opportunity to independently check the status, then this procedure can be carried out by the Theatre employee using the “guard” mode – through the mechanical input of the IIN into the database with the consent of the visitor.

We sincerely hope for your understanding!

Age limit for performances in the Main Hall: 10+, for concerts in the Chamber Hall: 7+

We remind you that people over 65 years old are temporarily restricted to visit the theatre.

(In accordance with the Decree “On restrictive and quarantine measures in the city of Nur-Sultan” dated 02.02.2021 No. 5, clause 1.5. signed by the Chief State Sanitary Doctor Beisenova S.S.)

We also ask you to maintain social distancing and wear masks during the interval.
