In 2026, a new project by Dimash Qudaibergen, created in collaboration with China’s Hunan Broadcasting System, will premiere under the title “Voice Beyond Horizon.” The show brings together eight singers from six different countries.

Representing Kazakhstan in this international project is Nurzhas Sadyrbai – a singer, musical theater and film actor, and artist known for his seamless blend of vocal mastery and stage expressiveness.

Nurzhas was born in 2000 in the city of Uchkuduk. In 2019, he graduated from the State College of Culture and Arts in Navoi with a major in Academic Vocal Performance.

He later earned his higher education at the Kazakh National University of Arts, studying under Askhat Maemirov with a specialization in Musical Theater Performance. Even as a student, Nurzhas began performing on professional stages. One of his first notable roles was Romeo in the musical “Romeo and Juliet.”

Since 2020, Nurzhas has been a performer at the State Musical Theater for Young Audiences in Astana. His repertoire includes such roles as Tulegen in the opera “Kyz Zhibek,” Floridor in the operetta “Mademoiselle Nitouche,” and Akan-Seri in the musical “Shamshi.”

Skillfully conveying both the lightness of romantic stories and the depth of dramatic productions, Nurzhas has created expressive characters in various stage performances, including “Abai–Togzhan,” where he played Abai, and “Gaukartas,” where he portrayed Kayyrken, among others.

In cinema, Nurzhas took on the leading role in the musical feature film “Yestai and Korlan,” bringing to life the image of the great Kazakh folk composer Yestai.
