“ Beautiful very cinematic production! Costumes, scenography, direction and play of the chorus are beyond praise - real! I highly recommend this spectacle of world-class in Moscow!

“ Wonderful scenery, magnificent light! A beautiful setting for fencers-fencers. The opera itself seemed a bit long, 3 acts - unjustified. The people rejoiced, probably, I did not understand something))

“ Many thanks to all the artists who performed the opera on April 04. Especially, Irina Bozhenko and Alexei Tatarintsev! It's time to award the title of Honored Artist. It's a delight! What a voice! Divine! Perfectly played the role, transferred to the tenderness and love of the characters! Bravo!! Special words of gratitude to conductor Dmitry Volosnikov for pauses in the orchestra's game, in which he gave the actors the full power of their voices. How virtuously he muffled the orchestra. The orchestra is worthy of the highest praise.
