Foreign press wrote: “The Music Hall is an incredible group. Their technique is amazing and universal. The singers are great. All the participants of the dance group can be a decoration of any western music hall because of their beauty, amazing elegance, incredible technique and unusual program”.
To bring people joy, fun, laughter – that’s how the actors and the permanent leader of the theater Ilya Rakhlin understand their task. Generous fantasy, originality, ability to create an integral and exciting show are natural to Rakhlin’s directing.
