EMPLOYEES OF OPERA AND BALLET THEATRE COLLECT SIGNATURES TO DEMAND CHOREOGRAPHER'S RESIGNATION (VIDEO)
18:34 | March 31,2014 | Social
The chief choreographer of the Alexander Spendiaryan State Academic
Opera and Ballet Theatre has not gone to work for a week. Rudolf
Kharatyan says the reason is the tense atmosphere at the Theatre.
"There are some problems with the creative team, but I think that
everything will clear up soon," said Hrach Grigoryan, Acting Head of
the Theatre.
While Rudolf Kharatyan is considering his return to the Theatre,
the management is discussing the reasons for the heated situation.
Kharatyan says he was eager to stage a classical and contemporary
ballet for the Armenian audience but our ballet dancers did not like
the idea.
"We cannot create art with our street posture. They think I want to
cut them off their roots. I just want to explain our youth that we
stay behind other countries," said the choreographer. The dancers
do not like the methods of the demanding master either. "They do not
attend training for many days, naturally they cannot dance well without
training their bodies and muscles," the specialist said adding that
the staff has started collecting signatures to demand his resignation.
Both Rudolf Kharatyan and Hrach Grigoryan believe that the situation
will change after the appointment of a new director. The election is
slated for April 4.
