Gariné

Approved

A three act comic opera by the Armenian composer and conductor Tigran Chouhajian. The performance was

held on March 29th and 30th 2014, at the Tabernacle, Notting Hill.                                                                    

                                                                                          

Garineh was composed in 1875 under the title of Leblebidji Hor-Hor Agha. It was originally written in Turkish, 

translated into Armenian in the 1890s while the composer was still alive, and re-orchestrated and performed in  

Soviet Armenia in the 1940s under the new title of Garineh.                                                                                  

 

The opera weaves a fanciful yarn of love and farce, telling the story of an old chick-pea vendor who is reluctant

to let his daughter mingle in high society and marry the rich man of her dreams.                                                

 

The composer Tigran Chouhajian (1837-1898) was born in Istanbul, Turkey, and is acknowledged as the father

of Armenian opera. He was the founder of the first opera institution in the Ottoman Empire, and is recognised

as the first composer to bridge the gap between the musical arts of the East and West, recreating the classical    

European forms by introducing folk melodies of Middle East music. His most well known musical work is the  

first Armenian grand opera Arshak II.
