YEREVAN, January 28 (Noyan Tapan). World-famed baritone Renato Bruzo
will perform with the only concert at the “Aram Khachatourian” concert

singer, who arrives in Armenia for the first time, was initiated by
Eduard Topchian, the head conductor of the State Philharmonic
Orchestra of Armenia. David Terzian, the Deputy Director of the
orchestra, told NT’s correspondent that the negotiations with Bruzo
started last year, but the agreement was recently reached. Arias and
overtures from Juzeppe Verdi’s operas will be performed at the

will make from 3,000 to 10,000 drams (6-20 dollars). “We have
established all the conditions for the Armenian spectators to have an
opportunity to hear the world-famed baritone,” he said. The State
Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia is also going to organize a concert
of world-famed tenor Placido Domingo in Yerevan dedicated to the 90th
anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The negotiations are being
carried on between Eduard Topchian and the manager of the famous
singer for several months now. The performance of the operas of Verdi
and Donizetti brought fame to Renato Bruzon. For the first time he
appeared on the scene in Spoletto in 1961 in the role of count de Luna
(“Troubadour”). Bruzon performed in almost all the famous opera
scenes. The singer is the soloist of “La Scala” and “Metrapoliten”
