She was 17 years old when she was given the Swan role at ‘
Swan Lake’ by Chaikovski. This was the beginning of her
primadonna career at Istanbul State Opera & Ballet that lasted for 25 years.
Her maternel line brings us back toKaş…Profound of her roots, she strived to pay her emotional debt to this village..Where she found the heritage of art, perfectionism and ideologist discipline in her genes.
As vice president of Lycia /Kas Culture & Arts Festival Commitee for several years, she invited her circle to Kaş …Arts, opera, ballet, theather, music and dance became as a commodity for locals since then…
Hülya, brought back her gift; love of life in form of different arts to Kaş, and she is still a resident in this surprisefull land to continue feeding back the roots that made her the youngest, most respected and admired primadonna of Turkish Ballet.
