Despite the very hot weather in Mishkolc, the hall of National theatre was full of spectators, who applauded the artists since the very first minute of the performance after each scene. It wasn't very easy for Helikon-people to imitate the Siberian cold even when it is snowing on stage, but +30* Celsius in reality. Not everyone can play in such conditions, but Honored Artist of Russia Natalia Zagorinskaya and Dmitry Ponomarev have surprised everybody with perfect play and vocal. It is necessary to stress that all artists performed brilliantly. Tamas, the son of festival director, was very excited, it was the his first time as he played The Boy in "Siberia". The great applause followed the performance, and young talent received the Russian balalayka in memory of his debut.


The collaboration of "Helikon-Opera" and Bartok +  festival continues.
