Nabucco – Madrid 2022
“George Gagnidze is an impressive baritone. The voice (…) has brilliance and is skillfully handled in search of varied sonorities, finding expressive chiaroscuros thanks to a changing facial technique that helps it boost the sound in different degrees and colorations, which helps to highlight the character’s most marked traits, wrapped in very different lights. A gifted baritone , who must be applauded (…).”
Arturo Reverter, La Razón
“George Gagnidze sang Nabucco (…) He benefited from the natural darkness of his timbre (…) He interpreted his role in a coherent way.”
Mario Muñoz, Opera Áctual
“The Georgian baritone George Gagnidze played Nabucco and conveyed with his powerful voice the superb character of the king passing through madness and regret.”

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

Aida – New York 2023
"The size and clarity of George Gagnidze’s voice made for a particularly menacing Amonasro." “George Gagnidze’s menacing Amonasro was powerfully sung.” Rick Perdian, New York Classical Review

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
