    Armenian opera singer to take part in Maria Callas memory concert

    16:43 - 24.08.12


    The Swiss-based Armenian opera singer, Varduhi Khachatryan (mezzo
    soprano), has been invited to perform at a concert dedicated to the
    celebrated opera star, Maria Callas.

    The event will take place in Athens' Great Downtown Concert Hall on
    September 16.

    The concert, dedicated to Callas' memory and glory, has been organized
    annually by the non-profit organization Athenaeum since 1974. Singers
    honored with the Grand Prix "Maria Callas" are invited to the event.
    The Armenian singer won the award in 2001. She also attended the
    Callas memory concert in 2009.

    Speaking to Tert.am, Khachatryan said that her repertoire for this
    year's concert includes soprano songs. She will perform the arias of
    Tosca and Norma from the namesake operas by Puccini and Bellini.

    Considering Callas the picture of artistism and femininity,
    Khachatryan thinks in the meantime that any characterization of her
    would be `very primitive'. The singer has a big collection of photos
    albums and books devoted to the opera legend.
