Armenian soprano Ruzan Mantashyan had a great performance at the SemperOpernball 2020 festival in Dresden with a dramatic performance of Tatiana's aria (Tatiana's Letter) in Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin opera, Armenpress reported.

Talking to the agency, Mantashyan said she was happy that the performance took place and reached its logical end.

Violinist Pavel Milyukov, soprano Yulia Muzichenko, pianist Alexander Kashpurin, and tenor Yusif Eyvazov, took part in the concert.

According to earlier reports, Eyvazov refused to sign on one stage with Mantashyan. The organizers first denied reports that Mantashyan was invited to perform during the concert. Despite complicated situation Mantashyan won and appeared on the stage. A number of famous opera personalities supported the soprano. Armenian parliament sent a letter to the German Bundestag to clarify the situation.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
