"Shalygin maakt van Plato’s Symposium een meesterlijke soort-van-opera over de liefde" – Review on premiere by Joep Stapel
AB: "I want to say thank you to the team we worked on in the opera Amandante by Maxim Shalygin for making music and theatre together!
It was a great journey - we made a first stop in the port of Amsterdam, and I hope our ship will flow further.
My love to the incredible singers of NOVA OPERA Ruslan Kirsh, Maryana Golovko, Anna Kirsh, Andrii Koshman
and instrumentalists Fiona Robertson, Ernst Spyckerelle,
Oksana Mukosii, Ketevan Roinishvili, Silvia Gallego, conductor Mikheil Menabde, and everyone involved in this project!"
