"The two Gagaku performances in Paris in 2005, within the Cultural Center of the Japanese Embassy, proved to be exceptional events in their presentation of this sacred art form. The overall conception and preparation of the show, the high quality of the musicians and dancers, the selection of the musical and choreographic compositions and their performances, all resulted in the creation of an emotional intensity and profound sirituality seldom experienced on stage." - Review by Sonia Dumitrescu (Sonia is the star dancer of the Opera of Bucharest. She is also the winner of the international contest of the Varna Ballet and an instructor and choreographer in Paris.)
