Spendiaryan`s Opera and Ballet National Academic Theatre, who came up with Frigg`s dance. The artist is not a new one in the world of the Ballet Theatre, she was noticed by performances of Minkus ‘Don Quixote’ and Pergolesi “Stabat Mater” where she danced.
The “Aravot” asked the opera choreographer Mr. Galstyan why only after being on the stage a few years, an artist is entrusted serous dances. Mr. Galstyan noted that it is less than a year he has been the chief choreographer, and then said. -” It is impossible to implement high performance without ballet, even when you have great Soloists “. He also reminded that his return in summer 2014 coincided with A.Khachaturyan’s “Gayane ” which took place in St. Petersburg at “Marinsky” theatre .I really was afraid the audience perceives the performance and evaluates commonly , where ballet, large and small plays are not interested. In honor of tutor, and of course, ballet group, we performed very highly, “-said Vilen Galstyan.

Sona Muradyan – “I agree, but I would like to dance more complicated dances. I dream to present the audience Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake” and dance as Odette and Odell, to dance in “Eugene Onegin” as Tatyana. Theatre does not include these performances, but I am sure that our main choreographer will not pass indifferently towards ballet literature. Mr. Galstyan is eager to perform Lermontov’s “Masquerade” in ballet works”-said the dancer.
Relating to Frigg’s dance, Sona Vardanyan said that it was prepared by the help of the opera house tutor, a college teacher, RA Artist Elvira Mnatsakanyan. “A lot of work has been performed by people who train us. I work and learn a lot from them, for example, it is enjoyable and useful to practice under the leadership of Elena Pavlidy and Emma Nahapetyan. I hope that in near future I will be able to cooperate with Nadezhda Davtyan. I have heard the rumors that it has been the first time I am trusted a serious work; the explanation is that I have a small baby… “.
