OPERA HOUSE TO BE RE-EQUIPPED WITH STATE FUNDS
Tert.am

Yerevan's Opera House will soon be re-equipped by state funds,
Opera's Director Kamo Hovhannisyan has said.
"Currently, we are using old equipment. Those actions that in developed
countries are done by pushing a button, we continue doing it by hand,"
explained he.
"Last time the theater was renovated during Communists then we
partly renovated it by the funds of the Lindsay Foundation," said
Hovhannisyan.
Further, he said that at this time most of the funds will be spent
on the theatre's technical re-equipment, rather than on the building
itself.
Kamo Hovhannisyan further said that in recent years the Opera has
become more active despite the existing difficulties: it has enriched
its repertoire with the works of Armenian and foreign composers.
Presently, the theatre is preparing French composer George Bizet's
opera Karmen.
