Marina,

I was in Vienna to witness an important event in the life of our production of An Ideal Husband and in the life of the Moscow Art Theater of recent years. It is not just a success, but an insightful success that reinvigorates us to carry on our duty and to keep on going our way. We have had some issues in the recent past, and we have had different views on certain things. We have acquired some common opponents among theatre glossators. This festival and our performances in Vienna set a milestone in our relations. It has happened largely thanks to your artistic will, and it happened in one of the most important centers of European culture. Things like that are not to be forgotten. Thank you on behalf of the Moscow Art Theatre and, of course, from me personally. I saw it myself, I heard it myself, I felt it myself, and I rejoiced.

Yours,
Oleg Tabakov
