Abstract

The creative work of Tukhtasin Jalilov is considered in the context of the development of Uzbek musical theatre in the 20th century. Particular attention is given to his role as a composer, performer, and organizer, as well as to his contribution to the formation of the genre of musical drama. The study highlights the interaction of folk traditions and professional art in his works, revealing the principles of integrating national melodic material into theatrical practice. Jalilov’s activity is interpreted as a significant stage in the evolution of  Uzbek musical culture.
