WORKS TO IMPROVE AL. SPENDIARYAN NATIONAL OPERA AND BALLET THEATRE UNDERWAY - DIRECTOR
13:00 / 12.07.2014
The artistic staff of the Al. Spendiaryan National Opera and Ballet
Theatre once in three years must pass qualification exams. Newly
appointed director of the theatre Andranik Arzumanyan spoke with
Nyut.am about the plans and issues of the theatre.
- Mr Arzumanyan, how the qualification process passed? What results
have been achieved?
- The qualification exams of the orchestra, singing band, vocalists
and ballet ensemble passed according to the established order and
I can say for sure that they passed in a simple, transparent and
professional way. The qualifying commission consisted of invitees
to ensure the transparency. The goal of the exams is not to dismiss
people but evaluate their knowledge and professionalism.
- Have all the participants passed the necessary threshold?
- Unfortunately no. Few of our artists failed the qualification exam
and were dismissed.
- As a newly appointed director, what works are you carrying out to
improve the work of the theatre?
- In parallel with the qualification we are carrying out structural
changes as I think the theatre must get a new breath and adopt a new
working style. The theatre needs professional management and a more
dynamic working style. In near future the formation of the main team
of the theatre will be accomplished and we will start working with a
new spirit enriching our stage with new performances. We have planned
4-5 new projects we will carry out in the new season.
- Mr Arzumanyan you are going to present "Gayane" ballet in St.
Petersburg July 21-22. What other tours do you have?
- Yes, on July 20 we are departing for St. Petersburg to perform Aram
Khachaturyan's Gayane. The performance is staged on so high level that
we are proud to present it on a big stage. The artists understand well
the responsibility and treat their work seriously. After September
20 we have tour performances in Qatar where we will present Romeo
and Juliet by Rudolph Kharatyan.
Last year our ballet ensemble was in Qatar with Spartak ballet. As
a result an agreement was signed between our and Qatar's theatres
according to which our ballet ensemble is to perform there this years.
Overall, we will present four performances there.
- It is interesting that our ballet ensemble has raised such interest
in Arab country.
- Yes, but it is not strange. This Arab territory longs for arts. Not
having their own professional theatres, they are ready, they want to
invite professional theatres from different countries of the world.
So, we have planned to have tours in other Arab countries as well
like in Kuwait, Oman where people like opera art. Oman has the most
gorgeous stage of the region where the best theatrical groups perform.
The arrangements are already underway. Armenia's embassy in Kuwait
supports us in it.
Of course, we have programs to come up in European countries as well
but I do not want to speak about them as they are in projecting phase.
As of the moment our prior issue is to gather a team and pass to
active creative activity.
