Das Opernglas

“Wunderbare Technik”

“Der in Tiflis geborene und dort auch ausgebildete Bariton debütierte im Jahr 1996 im Paliashvili-Opernhaus als Renato in »Un ballo in maschera«, war Preisträger des Leyla-Gencer-Wettbewerbs und des Elena-Obraztsova-Wettbewerbs und errang 2005 beim Concorso Voci Verdiane von einer Jury unter dem Vorsitz von José Carreras und Katia Ricciarelli den ersten Preis. Von Deutschland aus startete George Gagnidze dann seine internationale Karriere, die ihn innerhalb kürzester Zeit an viele wichtige Opernhäuser der Welt führte. Seit seinem sensationellen Debüt als Rigoletto an der New Yorker Metropolitan Opera im Jahr 2009 zählt er zu den führenden Sängern seines Fachs.”
