London, will bring his experience to Armenia
09:33, 19 November, 2012
YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 19, ARMENPRESS. The son of prominent ballet dancers
Vilen Galstyan and Nadejda Davtyan Davit Galstyan is the true
inheritor of the traditions of his family. He studied in the Royal
Ballet School of London and now is a soloist in the le Ballet du
Capitole in Toulouse. Davit Galstyan's performance at the solemn
evening party dedicated to Vilen Galstyan's 70th anniversary in
Alexander Spendaryan Opera and Ballet National Academic Theatre
attracted the attention of the Armenian audience. "Armenpress" had a
conversation with the junior Galstyan not merely about his success in
choreographic art, but also about the way he has passed in his life.
- Davit, You are the son of the outstanding ballet dancers. Did they
have any influence on Your choice of profession? How did You choose
this way?
- Frankly speaking, my parents did not want me to enter the ballet
school, as they were perfectly conscience of the difficulties of this
profession. I was studying in School N67 after Yeghishe Charents in
Yerevan, but as I was surrounded by the best ballet dancers I also
wanted to study ballet and at the age of nine I went to the Dance
College and I was accepted. Notwithstanding my parents did not know
about this step of mine.
- Do You consider bringing to Armenia the experience and knowledge You
have gained abroad?
- Armenia is my home. By all means one day I will pass my experience
to the young ballet dancers and I would love to do it.
- It's not a secret that it's difficult to be a childe of renowned
parents. Did You ever have to face baseless accusations about You,
when Your success was not ascribed to You?
- Yes, you are right; it's not easy to be Galstyan's and Davtyan's
son, as I have always been at the centre of attention. There always
have been critics and it an inseparable part of our life. I am
normally deposed towards that phenomenon and frankly speaking I do not
pay much attention to this. (THE FULL VERSION OF THE INTERVIEW IS
