His “bel canto” has a wonderfully easy flow with brilliant, sweet, high notes, and “tenor sobs”. The colour with which he uses it makes people hold their breath”

A theatre is like a temple for me, a sacred place where I can touch and get closer to the greatness, as we the artists, every evening, after another life lived on stage, leave a piece of our soul there… Therefore, of course, historical scenes always carry some other energy for me. And thank God, there are a lot of them around the world, so there are also a lot of favouritetheatres.
BELOVED ARIAS
Liparit Avetisyan releases his first solo album on Delos: a crowd-pleasing programme of celebrated arias which he has performed in major opera houses. Liparit gives a superb account of iconic roles – in turn passionate, tragic and haunting – ranging from Donizetti’s Una furtiva lagrima to Verdi’s La donna è mobile by way of Puccini’s Che gelida manina and Gounod’s Salut ! demeure chaste et pure. As a homage to Liparit’s home country, this varied program concludes with Sayat-Nova’s folk-inspired Qamancha.
