George Gagnidze is back at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin to reprise his “outstanding Shaklovity” (Opera Now). On November 2, 9, 15, and 23, Claus Guth’s acclaimed staging of Mussorgsky’s Khovanshchina returns following its unanimously lauded premiere last year. Timur Zangiev conducts, and George appears alongside Mika Kares, Taras Shtonda, Marina Prudenskaya, Thomas Atkins, Stephan Rügamer, Evelin Novak, Andrei Popov, Anna Samuil, Roman Trekel, Junho Hwang, Johan Krogius, Hanseong Yun, and Friedrich Hamel.
Praised by the international press for its “uniformly superb” singing (Financial Times) and “the consistently fabulous singers” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), this Berlin production features George Gagnidze as the villain Shaklovity – a role he has performed at the Metropolitan Opera, the BBC Proms, and in the premiere of this production last year. His portrayal was described as “vocally and scenically imposing” (El País), offering “the entire palette of sounds from melancholy to malice in the most varied nuances” (Das Opernglas).
