La Gioconda – Berlin 2020
“… in the duet “Enzo Grimaldo, principe di Santifor”, with which he [Joseph Calleja] together with George Gagnidze led the evening to a first highlight. Thanks to a mighty baritone voice, the Georgian singer dominated with his noble timbre every single scene in which he took part anyway, and gave the dramaturgically rather undeveloped role of Barnaba the malignity and elegance of a Scarpia.”
Ursula Ehrensberger, Das Opernglas
“George Gagnidze shone in the big scenes of Barnaba… .”
Käthe Wegler-Heinze, Der Neue Merker
“From the first minute, George Gagnidze seemed to ignore that this was a concert performance and played the evil Barnaba with all possible facets, wringing from his powerful baritone all kinds of expressions, up to the cry of despair in the face of the dead Gioconda.”
Ingrid Wanja, Der Opernfreund
