Armenian opera begins with Tigran Chukhajian's Arshak II, completed in 1868 but not fully staged until 1945, with a libretto by Tovmas Terzian. Armen Tigranian's Anoush (1912), based on a poem by Hovhannes Tumanyan, and his last opera David Bek (1950) draw heavily on folk music; Tigranian and Chukhajian are the most represented composers in this section. The archive also holds arias by Verdi and Puccini, often sung in Armenian translation, by soloists of the Yerevan Opera Theatre (opened 1933) such as Gohar Gasparyan, who sang in 23 operas there.
