Abstract

Singer. Associate Professor at YSC, Julietta Vladimir Nazaryan. - "The Sazandaryan Almast".This article focuses on the creation of Alexander Spendiaryan's opera "Almast" and the interpretation of the singing part by Tatevik Sazandaryan. It outlines how A. Spendiaryan persistently searched for a plot with heroic motifs for his future opera and, becoming acquainted with Hovhannes Tumanyan and his poems, ultimately chose his poem "The Capture of Tmkaberd". The article also discusses Tatevik Sazandaryan 's portrayal ofthe part of Almast - how, at just 23 years old, the singer masterfully overcame the challenges of this demanding role and the reception it received from both the general audience and musicologists.
