Shadow Theater is the fifth album by Tigran Hamasyan published in 2013.[5][8][1][9] The album contains 12 tracks and is a mix of several different styles, including jazz, jazz fusion, pop and Armenian folk.[1][4][2][5][3] The album consists of tracks which he had composed many years ago, but not released.
