Armenian Opera and Current Opera Art Development Trends

In the modern world, the diversity of leisure and entertainment makes it increasingly difficult to create and maintain interest in opera art. Many foreign famous theaters have long used bait and other means to bring the audience to the theatre: performances are upgraded, actors – less of clothes. On the other hand, the opera is a large-scale and costly genre, and we often hear that small countries can’t afford great operas. How the new challenges are met in our opera theatre, what programs and performances are to be expected?

Hayk Hambardzumyan talks about these issues with the Founding Director of Tigran Tchoukhajian International Institute, film director and actor Zhirayr Papazian.
