A beautiful palace in terms of architecture and interior, echoes of Soviet times are interesting to see, in general the hall is in good condition, the chairs are comfortable, but the interior needs cosmetic repairs in the future, and everything looks good this way. In the hall, in some places, water flows along the walls, water drips from the roof on the second floor in front of the entrance to the balcony. It is deplorable to see this, it feels like the palace needs finances for repairs.
And so the impression of the palace itself is normal, time spares no one and nothing.
Something in between a four and a three.
The hall is not bad, the seats are normal, clean, soft, but a little low.
The sound in the hall is very different, ranging from disgusting to very good, in winter it is very cold in the hall. About the same as on the street, only on the street you can walk, run, and so on. And here you sit and freeze. The buffet is sparse and expensive, the toilets leave much to be desired. The connection inside is disgusting, so open your e-tickets on the street.
We were at a Jazz Orchestra concert on November 20th. I really enjoyed the concert. Thank you so much, we had a lot of fun.
Now the disadvantages are that the concert started at 19:00, it's already dark outside, the concert hall building stands like a huge black block, the territory is drowned in darkness, all the spectators go down a dark, dark staircase to some kind of basement and everyone gets into the building through one door. Why do we always have an entrance through the back porch?
Put a spotlight on the street in front of the theater entrance, light up that basement staircase!!!
First, about the good things:
1. The concert venue is located in the city center, you can walk from two metro stations.
2. From a beautiful panel with all the famous architectural sights of Uzbekistan to the entire hall and beautiful dandelion chandeliers.
3. A very beautiful ceiling in the auditorium itself, made with reference to national traditions and interestingly inscribed with an oval, so that the balcony does not interfere with contemplation.
Now about the cons:
1. The building looks dull and old, although it is a little over 30 years old. If the dressing rooms are like that, it's a shame that the artists who come to perform see our country so untidy. There is neglect, repairs have not been done for a long time, smudges, old upholstery of chairs, part of the panels on the walls is covered with some temporary props.
2. We were at the end of October at the performance "The Master and Margarita" - it was terribly cold in the hall! In general, the heating season has not started all over the republic, but it was very cold there, even in a coat.
3. Very old and poorly maintained toilets: no latches, worn plumbing, no dryers, no napkins.
4. The entrance to the palace is not through the main entrances of the hall by a huge staircase, but through the basement and one door. There is pandemonium at the exit, plus you have to walk through semi-dark corridors.
5. Lighting is problematic both in the surrounding area of the palace, and inside in the basement foyer and when climbing into the hall.
With such disadvantages, the feeling of any performance, concert or event is muted.
a very nice room, I went to the TYnda music concert, the hall was clean, the sounds were perfectly audible, there was no technical problem inside there is a mini-store only a chair is a bit small if you have long legs, I recommend the first row for convenience
I really enjoyed the concert.Vivid pleasant emotions.The music allowed us to immerse ourselves in all the films of the Soviet Union and feel the energy of that time.I enjoyed the concert!Thanks to the creators and everyone who participated there!
We went to a concert there.
The auditorium is spacious, the acoustics are good. The corridors are clean, unlike other places.
One of the disadvantages is that parking is small. There was ice and cars could hardly get out of there.
An interesting place. It seemed to me that the acoustics were good. Comfortable chairs. Good location. It's good to listen to concerts of musicians there, for which other places are too big.
I really like the hall, excellent acoustics, parking is not designed for a large number of cars, we have to squeeze in, the staff is excellent, the concerts are interesting!💥💥
We recently attended a performance with my son, a show of monkeys and dinosaurs. We really liked it! But here the review is not about the show, but about the Palace of Arts itself. The place is very beautiful, I liked the interior and the hall, everything is very well thought out in places, that even from the far rows everything is perfectly visible and audible, it was very cozy! I keep an eye on the poster to come there again, for other performances)
I attended a wonderful performance of the orchestra on 09/13/2024, the artists are wonderful, everything is wonderful.
But there are questions for the organizers:
1. A delay of 20 minutes, no sound signals are given about the beginning of the performance, chaotic gathering of the audience in the hall.
2. After an hour of the concert, the latecomers are launched, with a straight face they say that they can't do anything, because people have tickets. You are a cultural center, couldn't you have prescribed the rules for attending a concert? They had a ticket, and the rest bought tickets to view the backs of their heads and places less pleasant.
3. At the end of the concert, the whole crowd rushed out of the building, and one of the 4 doors was open. There was a stampede, everyone wanted to get out. But in the event of a fire, what happens to this crowd, the employees answered this question that they did not have keys.
I wish the Turkiston team strives for the professionalism of the artists who work on your site.
The Frank Sinatra jazz Orchestra performing in the Turkiston Hall is incomparable with such acoustics and lighting.
The enchanting music in the legendary Turkiston is fascinating..
So far, one of the worst venues for concerts and performances in Tashkent among those we have been to.
1. The entrance is through the basements, not through the central one. As usual, the entrances and exits are through one door, which is why there is a crush, a crush and queues.
2. The lighting on the main stairs is very
dim, about half of the lighting fixtures are working, no more.
Z. Ceilings on the stairs are leaking, terrible yellow streaks.
4. The toilets are terrible. Far from the hall and
clearly striving for the past (USSR).
5. The location of the seats in the hall is also terrible.
We took seats in the amphitheater three times at different ends (left, right and center). The view from the right and left is disgusting, 30% of the scene, if not more, is blocked by a fence. Lighting fixtures are blocked in the center. There was a scandal with us because of this - a married couple refused to sit in such places and, coming into
conflict with employees, sat on the floor right on the aisle at the fence. And I understand them perfectly! The distance between the rows is very small, legs are cramped, tall people are very uncomfortable! An acquaintance was sitting in the stalls,
and the visibility from there was also disgusting. I'm attaching a photo. In 3 photos, you can see how
the lighting devices block the stage (this is the 2nd row and I also raised the camera above eye level), in 4 photos there is an overview on the right on the 1st row of the amphitheater).
6. The decorations were lying right on the floor on
the stairs. They were there three times during the month, and they were lying there.
There are almost no lights around the building. It is dark, uncomfortable, ugly, untimely, unattractive.
I'm not even saying anything about the delay in the start of performances and concerts by 15-20 minutes, about those who are half an hour late, who are being launched. This is a normal practice in Tashkent.
It's a shame to call this a palace of arts!
Updated on 29.10 after "The Master and Margarita" with Loginov:
The guards / guards are very loud, the whole hall can hear the walkie-talkie. It's not the first event I've noticed.
It was VERY COLD in the hall! It was probably 15 degrees. Everyone was sitting in jackets and coats and it was still incredibly cold. Mockery of both the audience and the speakers!
I am very disappointed with the state of attitude towards culture, in this case, classical music. On November 11, there was a wonderful program: a performance by the national orchestra of Uzbekistan and a performance by one of the best violinists of the world level. However, the whole building, including the hall itself, was infernally cold. The audience was sitting in outerwear, but the musicians were forced to work in such unbearable conditions..
They did a wonderful job, thank God! But the organizers and the administration of this institution are ashamed and ashamed.. I have never seen such a thing anywhere in the world..
I often visit the Turkiston Palace.Nice, compact room, I like it.But the last time was on February 20, 2025. Something happened to the sewage system there.The stench was terrible.Was it really impossible to fix this problem before the concert?After all, the hall was full of people.
A small cozy room, there was a Tynda music concert, the acoustics were great, the room itself had a comfortable temperature. There are places nearby where you can take a walk after the performance
UPD They have their own parking now
I park on the side, near Anchor. Careful, there's a high curb. There are a lot of good concerts planned on the summer grounds of the palace now.
The Soviet-built palace. Outwardly gray. It is located in the center. There is also a lot of gray inside. But there are interior highlights.
There is not enough local repair.
The hall is large. In general, you can see and hear everywhere.
Toilets need to be upgraded. There is no soap or hand dry.
There is only one cash register. The smell of the USSR.
There are periodic performances by foreign artists or medium-sized groups, as well as festivals or music concerts.
We attended the performance of the chamber orchestra of the troupe from Kazakhstan, the sensations are wonderful, the repertoire, the performance is great. We had a lot of fun and Relaxation. I decided for myself that I need to pamper myself with cultural events more often.
It's very cold in winter.
The seats between the rows are small. It is problematic to sit tall, because there is nowhere to stretch your legs, you have to lean heavily against your neighbor's seat in the bottom row.
The wardrobe is open in winter, it's easy to find a place, the lighting and screens, the equipment are good enough and everything was visible from different places.
The place is wonderful. I was at the World of Hollywood orchestra, the impressions are unforgettable. These live sounds, the orchestra itself and the musicians were just wow. The soloists' voices were magical. Everything was at the highest level, I strongly advise you to visit.
Unfortunately, I am very disappointed with the Frank Sinatra concert. The most legendary songs were not sung. For some reason, a very young rock band was performing at a concert. Totally out of place . I'm sorry for my wasted time (((
It looks very pathetic, everything is falling down, the toilets are not working properly, the lighting is terrible, there is a huge queue after the concert, no hygiene products, the dressing room is old, you are afraid to catch clothes on the wardrobe racks... It's very depressing...
It's a very beautiful building, but letting people through the basement is like buying beautiful shoes, saving them for a special occasion and eventually lying in them in a coffin
The Master and Margarita were recently at the play. I had to leave during the intermission, unfortunately, because it was unbearably cold. Special pain for the artists who ran around the stage in T-shirts, with bare feet. Ventilation was turned on, which of course is necessary, but cool air was blowing out of it, thereby worsening the situation of the audience and artists.
It's a very cool theater. Cool performances, I really like this place, because this place is not like the others. I recommend spending time here with family or friends
We went to the show once and really liked it. However, if you go in winter, then dress warmly. There is a parking lot on the side of the palace. The entrance is from the fountain side.
On the weekend we were lucky enough to visit the Palace of Arts of Turkistan with our family. It's been a while since I've been here. The hall is small, but the seats were comfortable and soft. Everything is clean and tidy around. I really liked the performance. The actors are well done!
It was April 7, 2025. The location Is A Balcony. The smell of building materials is unpleasant, apparently there is a parallel repair. Acoustics are worse than using headphones. The entrance is through the basement.
And the palace itself is not bad, but I like the park around it more. Shady cool alleys, silence, tranquility. You can take a walk with your pets, again.
I liked it! The sound is wonderful. Cleanliness is all around and everywhere. Especially the buffet there is delicious catfish. The wardrobe is, of course, as everywhere else, long, but because of the cold they left the jackets with them. Parking is available. The toilets are clean. The employees are friendly.
This is the third time I have attended concerts in this hall. Twice in the hall itself and once on its summer playground. Everything is neat and clean. I don't know how anyone likes it, but I like the Soviet atmosphere, this is just such a place. Beautiful walls, ornaments, even the smell is so pleasant, as if from the past.
I hope it will not be touched and "restored". He's good just the way he is.
The ticket office is closed, there are no tickets. By phone, the cashier sends for tickets to street dealers. The administrator offers to take you to the hall for money after the start of the concert, to sit on stools. Medieval savagery. People of art form the wrong impression of guests about Uzbekistan.
