Mesmerizing Canadian folk-opera ballet to be toured on Vancouver Island
"The richness and depth of the men’s voices enhanced the production of superb dancing leaving the audience often moved to tears," wrote Halya Wilson, Southern Representative of the Alberta Council for Ukrainian Arts (ACUA) in the Ukrainian News.
"Beautiful choreography, beautiful costumes, beautiful dancers!" exclaimed Leo Sato, Artistic Director of DanceCalgary.com.
"The battle scene in Kateryna can only be described as the most impressive choreographic display of Cossack grandeur I’ve ever witnessed on stage in my 40 years of Ukrainian Concert attendance," wrote Dr. Lydia Doschak for the Ukrainian News.
"We were very excited and privileged to share this unique production with Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg audiences. In April, we performed this work in Australia in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. Many in the audience said they could feel the energy and excitement emanating from the stage. Our goal is to share this overwhelming enthusiasm with audiences in Victoria and Nanaimo!", said Darcy Gulka, President of the Ukrainian Male Chorus of Edmonton.
