This was followed by a new international dance show “Night of the Sultans”. Over 70 dancers were selected at castings from more than 3.000 applicants coming from all eastern parts of the world, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Caucasus, as well as Italy, USA, and the UK. Several appearances on the biggest German TV life shows, such as ZDF’s “Wetten dass … by Thomas Gottschalk” and “Fernsehgarten” as well as ARD productions such as “German’s biggest Hits” elevated the name “Night of the Sultans” alongside such well-known shows as “Riverdance” and “Lord of the Dance”.
