“Leonid Orestovich has always been a welcome spectator. And a master who could easily and with humor give advice to young artists, he writes. – Leonid Orestovich was loved by absolutely everyone! I remember how one day he brought his student Dmitry Ovchinnikov to me to listen and said to me: “Take him to the theater, he is a neurologist, but he came to study singing, and I see him as a huge talent.” For many years Dima has been our leading soloist, and a soloist of many theaters in Europe. Leonid Orestovich saw and appreciated talent, because he himself was very talented. And as a person with a gift, he looked at the world with a smile and always spoke about serious things only with a sense of humor. “
