Hovhannes Nersesyan, a solo opera singer of the Armenian National
Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet, won the first prize at the IX
International Rimsky-Korsakov Young Opera Singers’ Competition in
the Russian city of Tikhvin.

The competition was held on January 28-31 as part of the International
Rimsky-Korsakov Opera Festival.

The competition, founded in 1994, was dedicated by its organizers to
the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Rimsky-Korsakov’s birth
in recognition of his immense contribution to the development of St
Petersburg’s professional music school and the vast influence his
legacy has had and continues to exert on all subsequent professional
musicians and music-lovers.

“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
