BIOGRAPHY
Soloist of the Ekaterinburg State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre, guest soloist of the Perm Opera and Ballet Theatre.
Graduated from the Urals Mussorgsky State Conservatoire, solo singing class of professor V. Pisarev (2006). In 2013 made his debut as Prince Gremin in Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin staged by the Latvian National Opera at the Bolshoi Theatre. In 2012 sang the part of Bartolo in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro and won the Golden Mask Award for his performance as Don Alfonso in Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte — both productions of the Perm Opera and Ballet Theatre. As a member of the international team of opera stars participated in the recording of Le nozze di Figaro conducted by Teodor Currentzis for Sony Classical (released in 2014).
Has collaborated with the Mikhailovsky Theatre, Novosibirsk State Opera and Ballet Theatre and the Chelyabinsk State Opera and Ballet Theatre. Within the framework of joint projects with the Irina Arkhipova Foundation has performed on stages in the Grand Hall of the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory and in the Yaroslavl Philharmonic Society.
His repertoire well combines opera parts (Boris Godunov, Pimen, Mendoza, Leporello, Zuniga, Don Basilio, Dottore Grenvil and other roles) with Russian romances, jazz compositions by Gershwin and Rodgers and popular music hits of Sinatra and Muslim Magomayev. Critics consider Harry Aghajanian to be one of the best interpreters of Rachmaninoff’s works.
