Biography edit

Hidoyatov was born on August 14, 1900 (according to other sources, December 31 ) in the Degrez Mahalla in Tashkent.[2][3][4] At the age of ten, he learned to play the dutar and soon became a singer. He began his stage career in 1918, working in the theatrical group "Turan," led by M. Uygur (from 1919, the K. Marx Troupe, and from 1920, the Exemplary Regional Drama Troupe).[5]

In 1927, he graduated from the Uzbek State Drama Studio at the Uzbek House of Enlightenment (later the I. V. Stalin Uzbek Institute of Enlightenment) in Moscow, where he studied under R. Simonov, L. Sverdlin, and I. Tolchanov. Graduates of this studio formed the core of the Hamza Uzbek Drama Theater.[6] From 1927 until the end of his life, he was an actor in the Central State Exemplary Uzbek Troupe in Samarkand (from 1929, the Hamza State Uzbek Drama Theater in Tashkent, and from 2001, the Uzbek National Academic Drama Theater).[5][4][7] He portrayed over 70 roles. He embodied on stage the finest examples of Russian, European, and Uzbek dramatic art. While being a theater actor, he performed folk songs at concerts and appeared in musical dramas and comedies. In 1936, he wrote a play titled "Avaz".[4] He was a member of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) from 1922.[5][2] Abror Hidoyatov passed away from a stroke on October 3, 1958, in Tashkent.[4][2][8] He was buried at the Chigatai Memorial Cemetery.
