Programme Note
From a shelter in Artsakh during the height of the 2020 war, children reimagine the story of Anoush, the famous poem by Toumanyan that they have grown up with. Anoush becomes their escape, their fears, their dreams, and their lives.
Anoush is a five-act opera composed by Armen Tigranian, based on the 1892 poem of the same name by Hovhannes Tumanyan.
The opera has special importance to Armenian musical history as one of its most significant accomplishments. Being a work of national character, Anoush was the first opera truly inspired by Armenian folk music and culture, and it is perhaps the most popular Armenian musical and theatrical work.
The opera is about the tragedy of a peasant girl (Anoush) whose short love affair ends in loss and death because of conflict between her lover (Saro) and her brother (Mossy).
