Armenian art any representative be he musician, artist or actor has to leave the country to realise how much his skill has been appreciated.

One more talented person joined the row of those who obtained recognition after leaving their motherland.

Opera singer Arax Mansuryan left the country in 1994 and became the first Armenian representing her country at "Australia" Sydney's Opera Theatre. "When I see Armenian soprano Arax Mansouryan written in a concert program, I think I represents my country and my nation", she says.

Arax arrived in Armenia for a single concert. It is remarkable that it was very difficult to organise even this concert. The event organisers faced difficulties leasing the hall. This is the top problem for singers in Armenia. Preparing to the concert scheduled for November 3 Arax feels extreme excitement. Once Armenian audience loved me and I'll do my best not to disappoint it.
