    YEREVAN.- Armenia's opera theater will stage TheNutcracker in 2013.
    Talking to Armenian News-NEWS.am, director of State Academic Opera and
    Ballet Theater of Armenia Kamo Hovhannisyan said restoration of the
    ballet is in theater's plans.

    In addition, they plan staging of Eugene Onegin, La Boheme and West
    Side Story Suite. Kamo Hovhannisyan said they had launched
    negotiations with the U.S. Embassy to get the license for the ballet.

    `If the Americans give permission, we would be happy to have the
    ballet on our stage,' he said speaking about West Side Story Suite.

    In addition, in the near future we can expect the return of Norma.
    Hovhannisyan admitted the theater has certain financial problems but
    expressed hope they would find a sponsor in 2013.

    Responding to a question about the tours, the theater director said
    because of global crisis, even the leading theaters of the world have
    to cut the number of tours.

    `We have received invitation from Lebanon to bring Spartacus and
    Gayane,' Kamo Hovhannisyan concluded.
