Marius Urzica Makes Gala AppearanceMarius Urzică said he was invited to the show actress Dorina Lazăr, who is the artistic director of the Odeon Theater. ‘She called me, but I don’t know whose idea it was to have me in the gala. They thought about doing something different and they probably saw Russian gymnast Svetlana Khorkina, who was the star of the show in many galas in her home country. I think that’s where the organizers got their inspiration.” Marius wasn’t nervous, being used to the capacity crowds. He only came to one rehearsal with all the actors and ballet dancers. “I just went about my training as usual and I couldn’t say I worked more for the show,” said the gymnast. Due to his injuries, and the treatment he received in Germany, he had to miss training from the middle of December until February.
The gymnast shared the spotlight in last night’s show directed by Dragos Galgotiu, with actors Marian Râlea, Rodica Mandache and Alexandru Darie, circus performers from Globus [Romania’s biggest circus company], ballet dancers from the Romanian Opera House and Oleg Danovski Theater from Constanta. "Unfortunately, my wife Get missed my showbiz debut, because she was at home in Bistrita Năsăud, with our son, Andrei. I did have coach Dan Grecu and his wife in the audience for support, though", he concluded.
