Q: How was the "Music Theatre" born ?
CT: The first concert was just after the premiere of "Hamlet" in Timisoara,directed by Victor Ioan Frunza, for which I wrote music and having a lot of music outside the show we thought we should also play it. Music Theatre is ussually forgotten once the show ends,it ceases to exists. And I'm very sorry, because every artist loves his work and has the desire to express himself and to keep what he has created. In this sense I thought we could play it in concerts. And even if they no longer sing in the show, the music remains in concert.After that we thought that we could develop it into a project that could be promoted better and then we thought to name it - "Music Theatre". And then I had many concerts in the country and even in Budapest!
