16 July, Vitebsk /Alexander Sam - BELTA/. The stage of the Summer Amphitheatre in Vitebsk allows for the realisation of directorial ideas and the demonstration of artists' vocal abilities. This opinion was shared with journalists in Vitebsk today by masters of arts from Ukraine, as reported by a BELTA correspondent. "The stage is very well and successfully constructed, and I have not encountered any problems during the three years I have been working here. I want to say that the director of the Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk International Festival of Arts, Rodion Bass, very successfully finds a stage design solution every year that allows for the use of various stage and lighting effects. Having worked on many open-air venues, I can say that the amphitheatre fully meets the requirements for a song contest," said Anatoliy Solovyanenko, the production director of the gala concert of masters of arts from Ukraine. People's Artist of Ukraine Volodymyr Hryshko noted that the stage allows an artist to "hear their own voice, which is very important for a successful performance." The Queen of Ukrainian Romance, Iryna Skazina, is participating in the festival for the first time and therefore has not yet tried the Summer Amphitheatre stage herself. However, according to her, she has already formed initial positive impressions after attending yesterday's concert by the National Concert Orchestra of the Republic of Belarus conducted by Mikhail Finberg. -0-
