- The Armenian National Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet named after Alexander Spendiaryan - The groundbreaking of the Opera-Theatre occurred on November 28, 1930, during the celebrations of the 10th anniversary of Soviet Armenia. The building was officially opened on January 20, 1933. Shortly after the theatre’s foundation, a ballet troupe was established. Swan Lake by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was the first ballet performance in 1935.
Based on Tamanian’s design and under the supervision of his son, the theatre hall was completed in 1939, and the opera building was renamed after Alexander Spendiaryan. Large-scale construction works continued until 1953, when the entire building was finally completed in its current form.
The opening of the theatre encouraged the creation of new national operas and ballets. The first Armenian ballet was Happiness by Aram Khachaturian. Based on this ballet, the composer soon created Gayane, which has been performed worldwide. Many other Armenian composers have written operas and ballets. Over the years, these artists have worked at the theatre: singers Gohar Gasparyan, Tatevik Sazandaryan, Mihran Yerkat, Pavel Lisitsian, Haykanush Danielyan, Nar Hovhannisyan, Gegham Grigoryan, Anahit Mekhitarian; conductors Konstantin Sarajev, Michael Tavrizyan, Aram Katanyan, Yuri Davtyan; ballet masters A. Petrosyan, M. Chmshkyan, Vanush Khanamiryan, Vilen Galstyan; painters Martiros Saryan, Minas Avetisyan.
Since 1935, a unique Armenian opera, Anoush by Armen Tigranian, has been performed in the Yerevan opera theatre. It was a significant milestone in Armenian opera history. Anoush remains in the theatre’s repertoire to this day.
Since its opening, the Armenian National Opera & Ballet Theatre has performed more than 200 different operas and ballets by Armenian, Russian, and Western European composers. The theatre company has performed in over 20 countries, including Russia, Spain, Lebanon, the United States, Greece, and Germany. In 1956, the theatre was granted the status of National Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre.
The theatre has also hosted concerts by Charles Aznavour, Ian Anderson, John McLaughlin, Akvarium, and many others.
