G'ulom Zafariy
Gʻulom Zafariy (in Cyrillic script Ғулом Зафарий, Russian Гулям Зафари Guljam Safari , often Ghulam Zafariy ; * 1889 , † 1938 or 1944 ) was an Uzbek writer from Tashkent . He is considered to be the founder of Uzbek opera .
Zafariy originally came from Tashkent, but worked in Osh between 1912 and 1914 . In 1914, during the period of Jadidism , his stage work Baxtsiz shogird ("the unfortunate student") appeared. His most important work was Halima (1919), the first opera written in Central Asia. This work was very popular throughout the region during the 1920s and early 1930s and used many familiar melodies, which is why Zafariy was accused of " ethnographism ". It has come down to us from a manuscript from a performance in 1926, but has not been published. Zafariy's other productions include Chin Temir botir ("the real hero Timur "), Erk bolalar ("free children") and Bahor ("spring").
