Gerald Papasian , un talent à facettes multiples
Gérald Papasian est un talent à multiples facettes .
Il restaure l'opéra Arshag II pour l'Opéra de San Francisco.,un opéra du 19ème siècle composé par Tigran Chouhadjian, le ‘Verdi arménien’ . La prestation formidable est celle de la soprano Hasmik Papian, qui incarne la reine Olympia, malheureuse épouse du roi Archak. Hasmik Papian est tout simplement magnifique :l'air du 3. acte sur son fils assassiné, est le summum de la musique et du théâtre réunis.
