Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan attended Saturday a rehearsal of Spartacus ballet in the State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater after Alexander Spendiaryan.

The Armenian government invited renowned script writer and choreographer Yuri Grigorovich to stage the performance.

"Spartacus is not an easy task to do. But we are happy to work with Yuri Nikolayevich," said dancer Ruben Muradyan, who acts Spartacus.
