Так уж устроены люди – всегда наиболее ценится то, что реже встречается. И если в принципе красивый певческий голос – явление нечастое, то ещё реже можно услышать в наши дни в Москве один из наиболее пленительных, особенно для женского уха, голосов – Тенор. То есть все теноровые штатные единицы в столичных театрах заполнены, постоянно появляются зарубежные гастролёры, но, не побоюсь сказать, лишь десятую часть от общего числа исполнителей хочется послушать во второй и более раз.

Поэтому так неожиданно и отрадно было в концерте, посвящённом 20-летию театра «Новая опера», открыть для себя новое имя, по вокальной культуре сравнимое с хорошим европейским уровнем. Это молодой тенор Хачатур Бадалян.

«Tenor Khachatur Badalyan, a soloist of Novaya Opera and frequent guest artist of the Bolshoi… Badalyan’s voice – powerful, flexible and weighty at the top – seemed fully deserving of first prize.»

«…Badalyan provided me with the surprise of the season two years ago in a performance at Novaya Opera of the title role in Richard Wagner’s “Lohengrin” that was vocally superior and only a shade less idiomatic than that of a well-known German tenor heard not long before at the celebrated Wagner festival in Bayreuth, Germany.

Tackling other repertoire on Tuesday, Badalyan displayed superb style and technique, as well as power, where necessary, in the most famous of all Russian tenor arias, that of Lensky from the second act of Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s “Eugene Onegin,” and went on to deliver a finely nuanced account of “Pourquoi me reveiller” from Jules Massenet’s “Werther.»

“… I was invited to watch the performance of Lohengrin sang by Moscow Soloist Khachatur Badalyan in the title role, whose Lohengrin at Novaya Opera is well known in the capital. His performance is not quite traditional for Russia, with its history of such interpreters as Sobinov, Kozlovsky, Pluzhnikov, which was characterized by a bright, silvery, and at the same time extremely lyrical sound. Badalyan sings his hero with a dark, matt sound, rather in the European tradition, where the part of Lohengrin is usually sung by spinto tenors. His climaxes are are sufficiently sonorous and bright. The final monologue «In fernem Land» the singer begins with hidden, muffled sound, surprising with this kind of approach, but then deploys the voice in its power, thus making the effect much greater. It should be noted that Badalian sang with good German pronunciation, which gave to the performance a considerable glossiness… “

Prepremier and premier evenings revealed a number of bright discoveries. The young tenor of ” the Novaya Opera ” Khachatur Badalyan in the part of Lohengrin was so vocally solvent, that has involuntarily eclipsed even the venerable American John Piers who was specially invited for the premier. The charm of youth and freshness of the vocal form of the first won experience and unconditional skill of the second.

« … On the day of prepremier the part Lohengrin was executed by an absolutely skilled young singer Khachatur Badalyan. In history of a vocal art there must have been a few tenors who have begun the career with such a part. And though in the performance there were natural flaws for the debutant, there were much more positive moments: very equal beautiful timbre, special culture of a sound …»

«… And, finally, the singer, who without hesitation can be called the opening of the evening: a young singer Khachatur Badalyan from Rostov-on-Don…» « Khachatur has exquisite timbre: a voice – pure “silver” – and an excellent “natural” technique. He is a direct candidate for an internship in La Scala and the Bolshoi. He sang tenor classic hits – “Duke’s song” from “Rigoletto” by Verdi and the Neapolitan song “Santa Lucia».
