[edit]

Tamara Petrosyan was born on March 16 (29), 1906, in Margilan (now Fergana region, Uzbekistan) (according to other sources, in the village of the Gorchakovo railway station of the Margilan city council). She was of Armenian ancestry.[1][2][3][4][5]

From 1919, Khanum performed as part of an Agi brigade under the leadership of Hamza Niyazi.[1][6] In 1921-1922, she worked as an actress at the Tashkent Russian Opera and Ballet Theater named after Sverdlov.[1][6] In 1922, she enrolled in the Tashkent Ballet Company and began dancing in semi-professional concert groups led by the first Uzbek artists Yatym Babadzhanov, Abrar Khidoyatov, and Ali Ibrahimov.[2][6][7] In 1924, Khanum graduated from the Central Technical School of Theatrical Arts (CETETIS) (now GITIS) in Moscow.[6][1][8][3]

From 1924 to 1928, Khanum was a soloist in the concert group of M. Kari-Yakubov (from 1926 - concert-ethnographic ensemble, from 1928 - musical-experimental ensemble).[1] From 1925 to 1929, she performed in the musical-drama theaters of Samarkand, Kokand, and Andijan, where she played the roles of Shirin ("Farhad and Shirin" by Khurshid), Gulchehra ("Arshin mal alan" by U. Gadzhibekov), and Halima ("Halima" by G. Zafari). From 1929 to 1934, Khanum worked at the Samarkand Musical-Drama Theater (from 1931 - in Tashkent, reorganized into the Uzbek Musical-Drama Theater).[6][1][8]

Khanum played a role in the development of the National Ballet Theater. From 1929 to 1934, she was a soloist and one of the organizers of the Uzbek Musical-Drama Theater in Samarkand (from 1931 - in Tashkent), created on the basis of the musical-experimental ensemble from 1939 - the State Uzbek Opera and Ballet Theater (now the Navoi Opera and Ballet Theater).[6] She led the dance group at the theater. In 1933, Khanum participated in the organization of the ballet studio at the Uzbek Musical-Drama Theater (later - the Uzbek Republican Ballet School, from 1947 - the Uzbek Choreographic School, now the Tashkent State Higher School of National Dance and Choreography).[9]

In 1934-1935, Khanum was one of the organizers, ballet master, dancer, and pedagogical repetiteur of the Khorezm Regional Musical-Drama Theater (now named after Agakhi) in Urgench.[8][6] In 1934, she played the role of Indra in the ballet "Ferengi" by B. K. Yanovsky.[6] From 1936 to 1941, she was a soloist and choreographer at the Uzbek Philharmonic and the State Uzbek Opera and Ballet Theater.[6] For forty-five days, she sang, danced, and worked as a builder on the Big Fergana Canal.

From 1941 to 1969, Khanum was an organizer, artistic director, ballet master, and soloist of the musical ensemble of the Uzbek Philharmonic.[6] She combined her artistic activities with extensive agitational work and took an active part in the movement for the emancipation of Muslim women. During the war years, she actively participated in front-line brigades, gave over 1000 concerts, received the Stalin Prize for her contribution to the defense fund, and donated funds for the construction of airplanes and tanks.[3] In 1944, Khanum performed concerts for Central Asian workers mobilized to work in Chelyabinsk and Molotov regions.[10] She was a member of the Communist Party (Bolshevik) from 1941. She was a deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the Uzbek SSR since 1937 and from 1948.
