*Celebrated for the rare beauty, majesty and emotional power of his voice, Rouben ELBAKIAN embodies the timeless spirit of Bel Canto, combining vocal splendour with an extraordinary ability to move and uplift audiences.

From the great cathedrals of France and Italy to the Arc de Triomphe and Les Invalides in Paris, where he has performed on five occasions for national ceremonial events, his voice has accompanied moments of exceptional artistic and cultural significance. The Italian magazine La Voce hailed him as an “Alchemist of Art, describing an artist placed at the service of the divine, whose voice seems to lift the listener beyond space and time."

His recordings have also received notable recognition, including praise from the French Academy of Lyric Recordings for his album Chansons Napolitaines, and a “Coup de Cœur du Disquaire” from FNAC for his album dedicated to the Armenian composer Komitas.

His artistic and humanitarian commitment has earned him two prestigious Gold Medals: the Grand Prix Humanitaire de France, awarded at the French Senate in 2021, and the Ligue Universelle du Bien Public, presented at the Garde Républicaine in 2023.

Rouben ELBAKIAN has also been honoured as a Knight of the Napoleonic Military Order and was selected by the prestigious LUXURY Magazine among 57 of the world’s most renowned Armenians, alongside such celebrated names as Charles AZNAVOUR and Michel LEGRAND.

PRESS REVIEW

LE DAUPHINÉ LIBÉRÉ : “AN ARTIST WITH A BLESSED VOICE!”“Undeniable vocal and artistic qualities, an extraordinary talent, a stage presence of rare majesty, and an art of interpretation in which the soul sings before the voice.”

RADIO NOTRE-DAME : “A EXTRAORDINARY ARTIST. He does not merely give his voice — he offers it. A voice capable, on its own, of filling the most magnificent cathedral naves. He awakens us to contemplation and lifts us towards what truly matters: the essential.”Charles-Éric Hauguel

FRENCH ACADEMY OF LYRIC RECORDINGS“A sun-kissed timbre, certainly, but also remarkable lightness, a fine sense of melodic line, a beautiful command of nuance, and a legato that never falters. A recital in which virility is tempered by an abundance of tenderness.” Anne Rodet, Vice-President

ITALIAN MAGAZINE — LA VOCE : “A GREAT, ETERNAL VOICE. This is the miracle brought forth by this immense artist! A prince! A rare pearl, now more than ever, in a world in turmoil. His voice is a question that leads us back to the very centre of our being the great question: Who are we? Much like a painting by Paul Gauguin." Mario Vecchione
