- Arousyak_Papazian abstract "Arousyak Papazian (1841-1907) was an Ottoman Armenian actor. She is counted as the first professional female actor in the Ottoman Empire and thereby the Middle East. Arousyak Papazian was originally a teacher. In the 1850s, the modern theatre was founded in the Ottoman Empire by an Armenian theatre company, and Papazian was reportedly the first female actor to perform in the Hekimian theatre company in 1857. She was engaged at the Arevelian Tatron (Oriental Theater) and she also toured with the company, such as to Izmir in 1867. As Muslims did not consider acting a suitable profession, the first actors in the Ottoman Empire was Christian Armenians, and the stigma of the profession was especially the case for females, the actresses received a higher salary than their male colleagues, and they could also continue their careers undisturbed after the Armenian theater monopoly was abolished in the Ottoman Empire in 1879; after this point, male Armenian actors found competition from Muslim Turkish male actors, while no Muslim Turkish female actor ever performed on stage before 1919. Arousyak Papazian became the first leading lady and female star of the Ottoman theater and received considerable praise. She and her college Aghavni Papazian are mentioned by the historian Mikael Nalbandian as two pioneers in deifying prejudices by performing on stage. As such, they became publicly visible women in Muslim Ottoman Empire in a period when the female members of the audience had to watch their plays behind screens. Arousyak Papazian retired after her marriage because of the opposition of her spouse.".
