Kaj Nazar' is a comic opera by Haro Stepanian. The story is based on a folk fairy tale and is the subject

of Hovhanes Tumanian's famous work of the same name. The popularity of this story is such that it has

been adapted and performed as a stage play, cartoon and movie.                                                             

 

Nazar is a boastful and delusional man who sits in the house and daydreams. His eternally suffering wife

Ustian, who does all the housework, is fed up with his laziness and often resorts to violence! With a         

"fairytale" turn of events his dreams become real.....                                                                                  

 

The opera was composed in 1934 and was first performed in the newly opened opera house in Yerevan in

1935. The libretto is by dramatist Derenik Demirdjian, who is the author of the play called 'Kaj Nazar'.   

Demirdjian's libretto adds certain darkness to the comedy and gives a political dimension to it. Here, the

simpleton Nazar becomes a tyrant oppressor whose reign of terror ends abruptly by people's uprising.      

 

Since its debut in 1935 this work has never been performed. Stepanian's unique musical style is well suited

to the nature of comedy in this piece. His other operas include 'Sasuntsi Davit' (Davit of Sasun), 'Nuneh',

'Lusabatsin' (at the dawn), 'Herosuhin' (the heroine).
