'Fire Ring'  is an experimental ground-breaking opera composed by Avet Terterian (1929-1994) in 1967. Highly

         respected in his adopted Germany, Terterian unashamedly immersed his work in Western, progressive concepts        

        whilst retaining his distinctive Armenian voice. He was a prolific composer whose work includes eight symphonies,  

orchestral and chamber works, songs, film music and another opera 'Earthquake'.                                            

 

 Dance and poetry are driving forces in this UK premiere, a psychological masterpiece, which explores civil war

and its ever present motifs. The poetry, taken from the Armenian literary giant, Yeghishe Charents, paints an

abstract world delivered to us by a chorus. A rebel girl and an officer are the chosen protagonists. Left isolated

  on an island, their opposing ideologies conflict with their sexual desires.                                                              

 

In association with the Grimeborn Festival, Fire Ring was performed on July 31st and August 1st 2016 at the

Arcola theatre, London E8 3DL.
