YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN. The 65th theatrical season of
Hakob Paronian Theater of Musical Comedy will open on September 7 by
the performance "Eastern Dentist." As Yervand Ghazanchian, the Art
Director of the theater, said at the September 6 press conference,
the performance will be dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the
premiere of the "Eastern Dentist" operetta.
"The "Eastern Dentist" performance was first presented 70 years
ago, staged by the classic of the Armenian theater, Vardan
Achemian. And participation of Artemi Ayvazian, Vardan Achemian,
Eduard Hambartsumian, Svetlana Grigorian, and theater legend Karp
Khachvankian in that performance is the evidence that the theater's
base is professional," Y. Ghazanchian said.
According to him, the theater remaining loyal to its traditions
replenished its repertoire with works of mainly Armenian classical
and modern authors.
Touching upon the issue of theater's rejuvenation, Y. Ghazanchian
said that seven young actors have been admitted to the group in the
past two years. "I never created a blockade in the theaters where
I have worked. Now not only the doors, but also the windows of our
theater are open before the young producers and actors, who would
like to work here," the theater's Art Director stated.
Touching upon the measures of theater's repairing, the theater Director
K. Shahbazian said: "Today all theaters in Yerevan are repaired except
our theater. When the cultural centers were being repaired in 2002, it
was decided that our theater should work. The Theater of Musical Comdey
worked all day long for two years and served public. And working with
a busy schedule resulted in stage equipment's becoming unserviceable.
K. Shahbazian said that due to bad building conditions, lack of
heating in winter they have to open the theatrical season twice. "This
year some money had been allocated from the budget for repairing
the roof. However, the repairs have been stopped for 15 days, and
the roof's repair is not finished yet. The reason is the project and
estimate mistake, and now we do not know what we are going to do with
the half-repaired roof," he added.
