Aida – San Francisco 2016
“Baritone George Gagnidze brought steely determination and a muscular voice to Aida’s father Amonasro, king of Ethiopia, who falls a captive of the Egyptians upon his army’s defeat. His Act 3 duet with Crocetto, when he convinces her to obtain strategic war information from Radames for the sake of Ethiopia, was especially moving.”
James Ambroff- Tahan, The San Francisco Examiner

Georgia Rowe, The Mercury News (and East Bay Times)

“In the limited but important role of Amonasro, George Gagnidze sang impressively.”
Janos Gereben, Classical Voice America
“A specialist in Verdi’s baritone roles, George Gagnidze, from the Republic of Georgia, was an authoritative Amonasro, giving a persuasive performance that suggested a determined leader who inspired the enemy forces. His duet with Crocetto’s Aida was one of the evening’s many vocal high points.”
William Burnett, Opera Warhorses
“Gagnidze gave a commanding performance as Amonasro”

George Gagnidze a Macbeth of “round, harmonically rich vocality” in Bologna
“With Verdi, the Georgian baritone gets along fully: Rigoletto, Nabucco, Miller, Simone are also among his signature roles. He takes on the multifaceted figure of the usurping monarch with a round, harmonically rich vocality, naturally wide-ranged and generous -- at times even almost overflowing -- but well controlled…” Gilberto Mion, Teatro about George Gagnidze's portrayal of Macbeth at the Teatro Comunale of Bologna, April 2024.
