Demirchyan in days, left the passengers astonished indeed. The ballet soloist of the National Opera Theater, honored artist of the Republic of Armenia, Syuzi Pirumyan had moved from “Barekamutyun” station to the “Republic Square” in Carmen’s character, had left the train and performed the solo dance of the heroine of “Carmen” suite by famous Bizet-Rodion Shchedrin in the station.
