Armenian National Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet after Alexander Spendiaryan ((アルメニア語:Ալեքսանդր Սպենդիարյանի անվան օպերայի և բալետի ազգային ակադեմիական թատրոն) (''Aleksandr Spendiaryani anvan ōperayi yev baleti azgayin akademiakan t'atron'')) in Yerevan was officially opened on 20 January 1933, with Alexander Spendiaryan's Almast opera performance. The opera building was designed by the Armenian architect Alexander Tamanian. It consists of two concert halls: the Aram Khatchaturian concert hall with 1,400 seats and the Alexander Spendiaryan Opera and Ballet National Theater with 1,200 seats. ==History== The ground-breaking of the Opera-Theater took place on 28 November 1930 during the celebrations of the 10th anniversary of Soviet Armenia. On January 20, 1933, the building was officially opened. Soon after the theater 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 theater hall was completed in 1939, and the opera building was renamed after Alexander Spendiaryan. Large-scale construction works did not finish until 1953, when the entire building was finally completed with its current shape. The opening of the theater promoted the creation of new national operas and ballets. The first Armenian ballet was ''Happiness'' by Aram Khachaturian. On the basis of this ballet the composer soon created ''Gayane'' which has been performed all over the world. Many other Armenian composers have written operas and ballets. Over the years, these artists have worked at the theater: singers Gohar Gasparyan, Tatevik Sazandaryan, Mihran Erkat, Pavel Lisizian, Aikanush Danielyan, Nar Hovhannisyan, Gegham Grigoryan, Anahit Mekhitarian; conductors Konstantin Saradjev, Michael Tavrizjan, 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 Yerevan opera theater. It was a great step in Armenian opera history. ''Anoush'' is in the repertoire of the theater until now. Since it was opened, the Armenian National Opera & Ballet Theater has performed more than 200 different operas and ballets by Armenian, Russian and Western European composers. The theater company has performed in more than 20 countries, e.g. in Russia, Spain, Lebanon, USA, Greece, Germany. In 1956, the theater received the status of National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater. The theater has also hosted concerts performed by Charles Aznavour, Ian Anderson, John McLaughlin, Akvarium and many others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yerevan Opera Theater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
