Answering the question about whether he feels that special energy of the walls of the Volkov Theatre, Solomin noticed: «I liked it when I came here on tour, and I like this theatre because it's a real Theatre! Boxes, circles ... I like everything. It's very appeasing. And that remains memorable long after.»
He explained that he likes it when the appearance of the theatre does not undergo any drastic changes. This is what happens, in his opinion, with the Volkov Theatre. «It seems to me that there are things in life that can not be changed. They should not be modified.»
