    Opera staged in Karabakh's Shushi

    January 01, 2014 | 20:16


    YEREVAN. - On the eve of the declaration of Nagorno-Karabakh's
    independence, the Artsvaberd (Eagle Fortress) opera, by composer
    Andrew Babayev, was staged on September 1, 2013, in the City of
    Shushi.

    Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra (APO) Chief Conductor and Artistic
    Director Eduard Topchjan told the aforesaid to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

    Topchjan considered this event as one of the greatest accomplishments
    in the year that passed.

    `Everything was very well organized. Andrew Babayev is an Armenian
    composer whose roots are from Nagorno-Karabakh.

    `To be honest, I was not too familiar with this opera. But after
    getting familiar [with it], I realized that it is the best Armenian
    opera,' the APO artistic director noted.

    As per Topchjan, however, the Armenians do not have powerful operas
    that can be successfully staged abroad.

    `The `Anoush' opera may be dear to any Armenian, but it cannot be
    presented in the international scene,' he added.

    Eduard Topchjan also noted that an interesting performance of the
    Artsvaberd opera was staged in Shushi, huge expenses were made, and
    the opera was staged in the open air.
