Aida – Teatro Real Madrid 2018
Gagnidze … displayed his attractive baritone color, robust and firm, with well placed high notes and a convincing expression”
Arturo Reverter, La Razon
“More uniform was the interpretation of Liudmila Monastyrska, whom the audience greeted with warmth and applause at the end of her duets and arias… The same happened for George Gagnidze as Amonasro.”
Europa Press
“A vengeful Amonasro, George Gagnize let the metal sound of his voice ring out, perpetuating the memory of the great interpreters ofthe role.”
Nicolas Grienenberger, Classique News

Nicolas Grienenberger, Classique News
“George Gagnidze was a husky Amonasro, plebeian but heroic, with a solid, nasal baritone and ringing top notes.”
Fernando Remiro, Bachtrack
“I was pleasantly surprised by the Amonasro of George Gagnidze, physically and scenically perfect for the
rôle. But his timbre is also very pleasing and although it shows a certain abruptness in his singing, it also had moments of adequate nuance, especially in the duet with his daughter.”
Javier Del Olivo, Platea Magazine
“George Gagnidze did a good job by portraying a good Amonasro, a short but intense role, and demonstrated a great facility to sail t the high register and a good presence in the middle register.”
Mariano Hortal, Operaworld.es

Nabucco – New York 2023
“... the title king’s vulnerable plea for his daughter’s life (sung nobly on Wednesday by George Gagnidze)…” “Elijah Moshinsky’s “Nabucco” production has an old-school, 1980s throwback charm, with its imposing, multiuse unit set that turns on the Met’s revolving stage, even though it arrived at the company in 2001. It harks back to a time when singers were almost solely responsible for delivering the drama, and that’s what Gagnidze did: He shaped Nabucco’s full character arc with his baritone, from the sheeny resonance and dripping venom of a boastful king to the long, stately lines of a penitent one.” Oussama Zahr, The New York Times

Rigoletto – Hamburg 2023
"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
