The opening night of Gyorogly was held at the Ruhiyet Palace in Turkmenbashi town during the Week of Culture in Balkan Velayat.

Those present greeted President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov with standing ovation. Cordially greeted the spectators, the Turkmen leader had a seat.
The new production tells the story of the national hero, singer and musician Gyorogly. The plot of the opera shows the hero growing up until his heroic feats and spiritual force and the poetic was recognised by the people. Gyorogly stands as the defender of the people and at the same time the lyrical hero – the singer of love and beauty.
It should be noted that about 200 artists are engaged in the production. They are the prominent artists of Magtymguly Turkmen National Music and Drama Theatre and the soloists – young teachers and students of the Turkmen National Conservatoire, the Symphony Orchestra and the Chorus of the Conservatoire.
