„The size and clarity of George Gagnidze’s voice made for a particularly menacing Amonasro.“ “George Gagnidze’s menacing Amonasro was powerfully sung.” Rick Perdian, New York Classical Review

"The cast on March 17, 2023 was top-class in the main roles. George Gagnidze in the title role as Rigoletto was completely absorbed in the characterization of this “court jester”, who is by no means funny here, but rather a person who suffers and a father who only wants to protect his daughter from the outside world and the decadent court society. With his dark, expressive heroic baritone and his powerful performance, he came pretty close to being an ideal for Rigoletto." Wolfgang Schmitt, IOCO
