Let us note that this is not the first open-air event that the mayor’s office organizes jointly with the National Opera and Ballet Theater of Armenia. In June, the 120th anniversary of the great Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian was grandly celebrated in Tumo Park, showing the ballets “Gayane”, “Masquerade” and “Spartacus”. We visited the last one and can definitely say that it was impressive, beautiful and large-scale. It was nice to see how many people wanted to devote their evening to the theater. We are confident that the upcoming event will be an even greater success.
