"He was an extremely competent director of the Austrian Ballet Theatre. I worked with him in the Vienna State Opera, and can warmly recommend him to you as an experienced manager and a promising choreographer."
Rudolf Berger, General Director of Opera du Rhin, Strassbourg, France
"I have known Mr. Martinu for several years, first as a very dedicated and professional dancer in the ballet company of the Vienna State Opera, and later as a very ambitious and talented choreographer and director of his own company, the Austrian Ballet Theatre."
Prof. Hans-Dieter Roser, Artistic Administrator, Deutsche Staatsoper Berlin

Mag. Franz Strohmer, Director of the Vienna Festival Weeks, Austria
"As former ballet-director of the Euroballet, Luxembourg, I had the opportunity to contract with Mr. Martinu to choreograph for my company. I think he has great talent, not only as a very personable choreographer, but also as a firm and reliable leader for a ballet company. He is qualified to direct a big, well established, company..."
Peter Busse, Director of the Hellbrunn Festival, Salzburg, Austria
"The short dances in the operettas, as well as the full ballet Carmen, were enthusiastically received by the public, and were honored with standing ovations. As professional director of his ballet company, Mr. Martinu was very helpful and creative in assisting me in all artistic fields."
Michael P. Schulz, Intendant of Luebecker Sommeroperette, Germany
"In Christian and Rio you have a real team to work for you. I cannot express my gratitude enough for this experience. I just hope that we might invite them in the future, so that more students and dancers can have the valuable experience of their teaching."
