ANUSH PERFORMS AT THE LES AZURIALES OPERA CONCERT IN LONDON On
7 February 2013, Anush Hovhannisyan , one of the prizewinners of
the " LES AZURIALES YOUNG ARTIST" competition (South of France),
participated in a concert entitled "LES AZURIALES OPERA", which
took place at the palatial residence of Sir Vernon and Lady Ellis,
London. Anush mesmerized the audience with her outstanding performance
and interpretation of " Ja Zhdu tebja", S. Rachmaninov, "Nun eilt
herbei Wintz, heitre Lune", Otto Nichilai and "Lo son l'umile ancella",
Frencesco Cilea.
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY?
"Anush Hovhannisyan won the Clonter Opera Prize 2012. This is a
prestigious award and it is the only inter-conservatoire opera prize
awarded in the United Kingdom. Singers are nominated by the heads of
opera form the UK's leading conservatoires and then go forward to a
competition at Clonter Opera Theatre.
Congratulations and a very well deserved award."
Professor John Wallace CBE Principal of Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
"...The cast was very strong for the competition and very
international, not sure who the panel was in the end because of no
shows but it was an even performance of the first two arias until Anush
Hovhannisyan of Armenia came to sing and put the other into second
place, Ashley Riches would have been our choice up to that point."
MPM Films
"Hovhannisyan catches well the prissiness of Clara, also how aghast
she is on donning the nun's veil, while her voice conveys the warmth
and sincerity of Clara's feelings."
The Opera Critic
"Anush Hovhannisyan had seemed to have an ordinary, workaday kind of
voice as Clara until the moment when she was called upon to masquerade
as a nun. In that moment she seemed utterly transformed. The suddenly
sublime tone that she found was unexpected but not unwelcome and
apparently heaven sent."
Opera Britania
" Anush Hovhannisyan reached her forte as Clara in her big second
half aria, one of the few moments in this opera where fully-charged
emotional depth is called for."
Scotsman ****** Anush is an outstanding soprano, who has all the
qualifications to become one of the top international opera stars.
