The
commission
An original neoclassical score for the Staatliche Ballettschule Berlin and choreographer Arshak Ghalumyan, premiered at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden.
Original music for the Staatliche Ballettschule Berlin, set to a choreography by Arshak Ghalumyan and premiered at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden.
Rushing, murmuring, thumping, trickling.
Through rushing, murmuring, thumping and trickling music, Encounter depicts how human beings cycle between states of tension and conflict, and the moments in which they meet. On stage the students dance solos, small duets and encounters, in soft movements with plenty of power.
The
stage
Choreography: Arshak Ghalumyan. Performed by: Staatliche Ballettschule Berlin.
The gala sold out twice.
“Staatsoper sold out twice — somewhat dark and elegiac by contrast, Arshak Ghalumyan’s ‘Encounter’, to iridescent sounds …”
„Staatsoper zweimal ausverkauft – Etwas düster und elegisch dagegen Arshak Ghalumyans ‚Encounter‘, zu irisierenden Klängen …“ — B.Z.
