Aram Khachaturyan concert hall is situated in the building of Armenian National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet named after Alexander Spendiaryan.
Alexander Tamanian, the prominent Armenian architect, first planned to build the winter and summer halls with two amphitheaters separated by stages. During the various festivities, these two stages would then combine into a hall with a total capacity of 3000 seats.
The plan of the building and its miniature were presented at the World Exhibition in Paris, 1936, and awarded the Grand Prix. Unfortunately, technical problems and conditions, and Tamanian’s untimely death in 1936, prevented the project from being fully realized.
In 1978-1980, the building underwent complete restoration and renovation. Later, the subordinate buildings and dressing rooms were renovated with Armenian marble and elegant wood. The concert hall was furnished with new chairs, the old chandeliers were changed, and modern stage facilities added. Now the hall is designed for 1300 spectators.
In front of the concert hall stands the monument to A. Khachaturyan, which was erected on June 6, 1999 on the occasion of his birthday, the author of which is architect Yuri Petrosyan. The interior of the hall is full of Armenian ornaments and sculptures.
It was named “Great Hall of the ArmPhilharmonic” and in 2003 was renamed after Aram Khachaturyan.
