On February 20, 22 and 24, George Gagnidze will bring one of his most celebrated roles to Las Palmas: Scarpia in Tosca. With more than 100 performances under his belt as the evil chief of police at venues such as the Metropolitan Opera, Teatro alla Scala, Paris Opera, Teatro Real Madrid or Wiener Staatsoper, George Gagnidze appears in Gran Canaria under the baton of Ramón Tebar and in a staging by Daniele Piscopo. Erika Grimaldi and Piotr Beczala will share the stage with him in the other leading roles.
George Gagnidze celebrated his 100th performance as Scarpia last year the the Gran Teatre del Liceu of Barcelona and will reprise it later this year at the Metropolitan Opera, where he has appeared in the character more than 40 times and in two different productions: in the premiere of the 2009 Luc Bondy staging and in the last few years in David McVicar’s production.
The Georgian German dramatic baritone returns to the Ópera Las Palmas following acclaimed performances in the title role of Macbeth in 2021.
