An Azerbaijani tenor has reportedly forced organizers of an event to force out an Armenian soprano with whom he was scheduled to perform.
According to the music news site slipedisc.com, Armenia’s Ruzan Mantashyan was invited to perform at The Semper Opera Ball, a classical entertainment event in Dresden, Germany. She was scheduled to sing a duet with an American tenor; however, he was unavailable to perform. As a result, the opera house replaced the American tenor with Azerbaijan’s Yusif Eyvazov, husband of world-renowned soprano Anna Netrebko.
At first, Eyvazov was more than willing to perform at the opera house, until he learned that he was paired with a soprano from Armenia. After realizing Mantashyan’s ethnicity, Eyvazov refused to partake in the performance. Instead, he demanded she be fired from the program altogether. As a result of his outburst, the Dresden organizers rescinded Mantashyan’s invitation, in order to retain Eyvazov.
World famous opera singer Hasmik Papian expressed her outrage on social media saying that forcing Mantashyan out because of her ethnicity was political.
“I have sang in the mentioned opera theater and I cannot recall any similar incident. I plan to raise my voice of protest,” Papian said in her social media post.
The organizers of the event rejected the accusations in a released statement noting, “The artistic director of SemperOperaball, Hans-Joachim Frey, however, strongly condemned the accusation as an insinuation. At no time had there been a contract with Ruzan Mantashyan for a performance at SemperOperaball on Feb. 7, 2020. Nor did Yusif Eyvazov ever make the collaboration with a fellow singer dependent on her origin. However, it is now assumed that there may have been misunderstandings in communication with Ms. Mantashyan’s agencies,” reported operawire.com.
The Semperoper Dresden is preparing for its annual ball, which is set to take place on February 7.
The decision makers of this racist act should gang their heads in shame as low as they can. Shame! A million Shame!
Armenians all over the world should raise their voice of protest, and boycott any event that a azeri is involved.
Poor Netrebko, I could never imagine she would marry an Azerbaijani, nor that an Azerbaijani could be a famous Tenor.
Poor Racist criminal Turks …Invade rape murder and steal.. and then they hate you when you fight back for your rights. Ignore this ignorant criminal pedophile race.. Free Artsakh and justice for the Genocide including Liberating Western Armenia is the only goal..
So what the hell is this a democracy to fire someone because of her nationality and then lie to them about invitation the Azeri singer if doesn’t want to participate he should fu!!!ng stay in his country and it is nobody’s problem common

This was definitely a political move. I suspect this was a setup to undermine the Armenian soprano. Azerbaranis are well-known for such despicable acts against the Armenians. They are still burning in their rear ends for their devastating and humiliating defeat in the battlefield and such filthy actions are their way of getting back at the Armenians. All you have to do to see what happened here is to study their filthy racist character.
I smell Azerbarani petrodollars at work here once again. Some of these Europeans have no morals whatsoever and will sell their souls for financial gains. The corrupt leader of Hungary was another example who gave up an ax murderer in return for paying off and clearing his country’s debt by Azerbarani petrodollars worth a couple of billion dollars. What’s rather odd and interesting to me is that there are Azerbarani tenors. They take pride in their “mugham” music the most which is basically strapping an oversized Persian tar around their necks, circling around a crowd and making donkey noises. As they say, you can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig!
Azeri terror forces Armenian soprano….
Just look at the Armenian soprano and then look at the Azeri fag. The Armenian girl is so pure and beautiful and the Azeri fag looks like a child rapist. It would be an insult for this beautiful girl to stand next to that Azeri thing on one stage.
The Spineless Semper Opera Ball, the organizers of this event should be ashamed of themselves
