National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater has released commemorative medals
The A. Spendiaryan National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater has released gold, silver, and bronze commemorative medals honoring its 92-year history and heritage. On this occasion, the Opera Theatre hosted the presentation of the theater's nominal commemorative medals, which were created in collaboration with the "47 Design"․ 

The event was attended by the Republic of Armenia's Minister of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports, Zhanna Andreasyan, Deputy Minister Daniel Danielyan, Director of the A. Spendiaryan National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater, Karen Durgaryan, Director of the "47 Design" company, Arsen Meliksetyan, directors of cultural organizations, and guests.

According to the Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Zhanna Andreasyan, the development of the opera theater best reflects the state policy in the field of culture and contemporary art. “The opera theater is the pioneer of working with a new financing model. On the one hand, it was difficult to go to that test, on the other hand, the existing development prerequisites showed that there was an opportunity to have new rules of work that would ensure an improvement in the situation in the theater. Today, when we already have almost 2 years of experience working with a new model, we are recording a significant and qualitative change in the theater. I am happy for all this and am sure that this positive shift is also visible to the audience, as evidenced by the large number of spectators who visited the theater."

The commemorative medals were issued in limited quantities. On the reverse side of the medal is a portrait of Alexander Spendiaryan, on the obverse - the building of the Opera House, which is one of the symbols of the city of Yerevan and the best architectural monument of Alexander Tamanyan.
