Specialists consider the opera Anush as the first Armenian national opera. It was premiered in 1912 in Alexandropol by the efforts of an amateur troupe, but the melodies that sounded in the opera spread quickly among people and became very popular. The opera is based on the poem „Anush“ by Hovhannes Tumanyan, and the libretto was authored by the composer himself. Soon many arias, duets and choral songs of the opera Anush began to sound on the radio, TV, and concert scenes as brilliant concert samples.


This maxim originates from the Bible. It means that a holy person becomes a vessel of God, in which God lives and works. The righteous live not for themselves, but for God; they are led by God. This is written in the Apostle Paul's Epistle to the Romans: "Those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God… The Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father" (Rom. 8:14-15).
