The ballet-oratorio "Antuni" by Edgar Hovhannisyan, with set design by Minas Avetisyan and choreography by Maksim Martirosyan, was originally created in 1969 for Komitas' 100th anniversary. It returned to the Armenian National Opera and Ballet Theatre for Komitas' 155th anniversary.

Narek Minassian served as modeling architect, alongside artist Narek Avetisyan, son of Minas, who faithfully recreated the set, and choreographer Susanna Martirosyan, daughter of Maksim. Video projections by Albert Movsesyan added a further visual layer to the production.
