Another farewell, but short-lived, took place near the National Theater, located not far from Maly. The bell rang and Khachaturian’s waltz from the play “Masquerade,” staged by Tuminas both in Lithuania and Moscow, sounded. After which everyone went by bus to the Antakalnis cemetery, where the ashes of the great director will rest on the Artists’ Hill among the hills and pine trees.
