PORTRET: Regizorul Andrei Şerban, un profesionist universal
Motto: „Deseori am avut ocazia să observ în ce fel cuvintele, când sunt cântate, pot avea mai multă forță decât atunci când sunt vorbite. Lucrând în teatru pe texte din tragedia antică, am putut constata impactul direct, total, asupra spectatorilor, al incantației și sonorităților limbii vechi grecești. Lucrând în operă, am simțit la fiecare repetiție puterea muzicii de a transmite atât prin voce, cât și prin instrumente, o stare care instantaneu mă transportă într-o altă lume” – Andrei Şerban
