“… the best performance of the evening was George Gagnidze’s, a vigorous Amonasro.”
Giovanni Gavazzeni, Il Giornale
“ The Amonasro of George Gagnizde has a ringing voice (…)”
Fabio Vittorini, Il Manifesto
“George Gagnidze is an Amonasro with a ligne du chant always correct and well produced; the volume is sufficient (…) there is elegance in his voice production and the figure of king and father emerging from his portrayal is completely credible.”
Simone Manfredini, Operaclick
“The most complete (concerning voice and interpretation) I would say was George Gagnidze, a very satisfying Ethiopian king.”
Carla Maria Casanova, Lo Spettacoliere
“George Gagnidze is an Amonasro with an elegant ligne de chant.”
Claudio Poloni, Concerto.net
“Incivise on the contrary was the Amonasro of George Gagnidze, with his large and homogenous voice, secure high notes and good interpretative approach.”
Fabio Larovere, Connessi all’Opera
“George Gagnidze exuded authority as the dignified Amonasro.”
James Imam, Bachtrack.de
“…while George Gagnized delivered a vibrant, authoritative and measured Amonasro.”
Davide Annachini, Delteatro.it
“Very much liked was the powerful Amonasro of Georgian baritone George Gagnidze, imposing both vocally and physically.”
Andrea Merli, I teatri dell’Est
“George Gagnidze is a worthy Amonasro both in the second act finale and particularly in the duet with his daughter in describing the tragic conditions of Ethiopia. Powerful but always on pitch.”
Fabio Tranchida, Il trillo parlante
“The two kings – especially the Nubian, performed by George Gagnidze– did well, the Nubian king was convincing when he tried to get Aida to get Radames to give up military secrets.”
Joe’s Concert Reviews
“More might of the old days in the Amonasro of George Gagnidze, certainly more authoritative king – with its sturdy vocal production – than loving father in the congenital manner of our own baritones.”
Francesco Lora, L’ape musicale
