This article examines the artistic interpretation of the opera “Qirq qiz” within the context of Karakalpak theatre, focusing on the interconnection between national history and operatic art. The study demonstrates that the transformation of a heroic epic into an operatic form represents not only a process of aesthetic adaptation but also a reconstruction of cultural memory. In particular, the research analyzes the narrative structure, musical language, vocal characterization, dramaturgy, and visual components of the opera. Furthermore, it highlights the synthesis of traditional Karakalpak folklore elements with classical operatic techniques, which creates a unique artistic expression. The findings reveal that “Qirq qiz” functions as a symbolic representation of collective identity, unity, and resilience, while also contributing to the development of national theatre. Consequently, the opera serves as both a preservation of cultural heritage and a dynamic medium for contemporary cultural expression.
