"In Vitali Belikov's choreography 'The Black Raven', the dancers become musicians and singers. Folk Music and Russian
Orthodox choral accompany this dark story from the Russian fairytales. As the black raven, excellently danced by Belikov,
the messenger of death, accompanies the souls of the dying to the afterlife." (Franconian News, 06.10.2008)
"The Darsky ensemble from Würzburg steps into action. "Darsky" - a magic word coming from the Slavic - is essentially
an artistic school of life, in which the artists learn from one another in different divisions: Painters to become musicians,
musicians become dancers. Dance, music, singing and painting merge into a contemporary innovative art form that wants one
thing above all - a culture of humanity, trust and social integrity." (Westphalian Gazette, 12.04.2008)
Before the intermission, the General Music Director, Jin Wang, played on the violin himself, a Waltz 'Tales from the Vienna
Woods' along with the Chorus of the Franconian Theatre. Afterwards was ballet dancer Vitali Belikov, at the time, in Würzburg in
the role of the Prince in Tschaikovsky's 'Nutcracker' to be seen. Vasily Solovyov-Sedoj's 'Moscow Nights' with the accordion
leading and the audience singing, the Summer evening of Russia's Capital City was not to be forgotten." (Franconian News, 05.01.2008)
