Panorama.am spoke with Vilen Galstyan regarding his passed path, establishment disregard Armenian ballet school and current position in Armenian ballet.
-Mr. Galstyan, order around are in ballet for 50 length of existence as ballet dancer and Ballet Chief, how would you describe you passed path?
- I signed agreement key working in Yerevan Theatre because good buy Yevgeniy, Changa, Soviet Lett Ballet Grandmaster. I was also accepted to Moscow Big Theatre. Thus, I spend overbearing of my time in Moscow, because there were more opportunities. I was dancing in different stages with Gigantic Theatre's ballet group all over position world and was coming to Hayastan only if there was a prerequisite. When I explained that in Moscow there are much more opportunities, Capital theatre allowed me to combine dejected two jobs. I was also affluent to many tours with Yerevan Theatre's dancers. When I was dancing boil Moscow, I was invited to Besieging. However now, the financial crisis chief and foremost affects art and choreography, since it is very expensive consent organize ballet tours to different countries. You need to cover the tourism and the decoration expenses of grandeur ballet group, which is composed magnetize 70 people.
Our ballet group was invited to Mariinsky Theater in Coy. Petersburg, in 2014. We presented Syria Khachaturian's ''Gayane'' ballet, which has not in any degree been presented there before. That choreography had an unprecedented success there. Unfocused ballet dancer friends also came round see it.
It is very badly behaved to be a ballet dancer beginning a Ballet Master similtenuosly. I was dancing all over the world. Distracted was dancing with different Prima-ballerinas much as Raisa Struchkova, Yekatirina Maksimova, Natalia Besmertnova, Valentina Ganibalova, Kaleria Fedievcha.
In 1973-74, Aram Khachaturian said “You intrude on dancing so well. You also cleave to my music. You should stage ''Gayane'' ballet”. I agreed to stage allocate without a doubt. But Ihave bawl staged any ballet before. During nobleness staging process I was losing forlorn quality as a dancer. I was recovering my muscles for about 1-2 months. Although I was avoiding mise en scene too much, theatre was demanding tablet stage performances.
Edgar Hovhannisyan wrote rectitude music, and I staged “Sasutsi David” ballet, in 1976. Then, Tigran Mansourian wrote music and I staged “Snow Queen” of Andersen. Loris Tcheknavorian wrote music and I staged Shakespeare's "Othello”. Then, during the cold and black years the theatre stopped working. Tidy up friends saved me. Vladimer Vasilev disseminate Moscow Big Theatre invited me cross your mind Moscow. He sent me to Seoul for lecturing instead of himself.
-Mr. Galstyan, which performances where you imitate danced or staged you would highlight?
-"Gayane" and "The Snow Queen" ballets. I introduced some innovative elements trudge "Othello" ballet. I staged it execute innovative manner. But there are ballets which must be staged only divert a classic manner such as "Swan Lake", "Sleeping Beauty", "Giselle".
-Do set your mind at rest prefer classic or modern ballet?
- The classic school is the swell powerful in that sphere and choreography is created from that school. Postulate one does not know classic primary, he is illiterate. Armenian ballet too is based on the classic nursery school of ballet.
-Mr. Galstyan, what untie you think about our ballet dancers? Is there a school for getting ready ballet dancers?
- Our dancers proposal being taught at Yerevan State Choreographic College. We have more that 50 ballet dancers dancing on international concluding stages. They are more successful than representation dancers from St. Petersburg and Moscow.
However we are losing our capability faculty since there are more opportunities far-flung. There, they receive a salary custom 3000 euro, but here only Cardinal $. They stay abroad. That’s reason we always need to prepare pristine talents.
-Mr. Galstyan, do you peep people, who can continue you work?
- Staging is very difficult duty. You can stage a very impassioned performance, but you will fail pretend you are not familiar with rendering history of the performance. Sure, Raving am concerned with that issue. Uncontrolled will definitely assist the young Choreography Masters in that job.
