Namely, the public was not able to accept the fact that someone “dared” produce a ballet based on the anthology film from 1981, especially since it has been so popular that the lines from the film made it into everyday speech. However, at the premiere, 22nd December 2004, all doubts disappeared. Ballet lovers have accepted the production with enthusiasm and many people, who never used to watch ballet performances before, have appreciated it as well.
The cast, in which there are no leading and supporting roles, superb music that makes the production so special, excellent choreography and stage directing, representing our temperament, are just some of details which have given the ballet Who’s That Singing over There its cult status.
Owing to its universal values, the production became appreciated and loved by many visitors on numerous tours throughout the world.
