“I'm fascinated by the acrobatics, by the expressiveness of the dancers. At the same time, there's this great three-dimensional scene in the background with all these effects. That is something really special,” said consulting company owner Peter Grethler. His wife Marina Grethler agreed: “I can only agree with that. I think it's only WOW! I find it terrific. The acrobatics, the dancers with their delicate steps, the dresses. It all fits in with the culture. I just have to say this. Absolutely superb!”

“[The tenor] touched me very much. Because he sings that we are heavenly beings. So we come from heaven and now we're here and have to rethink our karma.

“I would like to thank all the artists, for putting on such a great program on stage, in this perfection, in this quality. But I would also like to thank them for conveying this message. After all, all these artists live in exile. It's not even possible in their home country, to deliver such a message. And I would like to thank them, to all the artists for taking on this mission and for bringing this message across,” said Röstel.
