Armenian National Opera and Ballet Theatre under the
direction of Vilen Galstyan. Since its inception in 1973,
the theatre has worked with more than 200 different
operas and ballets by Armenian, Russian and West

personification of Armenia on stage using vivid colours
with unique shades and movements.
