di Giovanni Zambito - Il baritono George Gagnidze, tra le voci verdiane più autorevoli della scena lirica internazionale, si prepara a una nuova intensa stagione artistica che lo vedrà protagonista in Italia e all’estero. Dopo quasi 150 recite al Metropolitan di New York, Gagnidze tornerà nel Belpaese per tre appuntamenti di grande rilievo: Francesca da Rimini al Teatro Regio di Torino, Macbeth al Carlo Felice di Genova e Nabucco al Macerata Opera Festival. Parallelamente, sarà impegnato in importanti produzioni in Germania e Spagna, tra cui Der fliegende Holländer.

In the lead-up to the premiere of Der fliegende Holländer at the Oper im Steinbruch Festival, George Gagnidze spoke with ORF TV about his role and the production in St. Margarethen. The interview, along with rehearsal footage, can be viewed here:
