“George Gagnidze as her husband Gianciotto was excellent…”
Paolo Gallarati, La Stampa

“George Gagnidze is a grim and authoritative Gianciotto…”
Renato Verga, Il Torinese

“George Gagnidze captures the raw brutality of the character of Gianciotto with a concrete stage presence and a solid, resonant vocal delivery, well suited to the demands of the role.”
Alessandro Mormile, Connessi all’Opera

“George Gagnidze superbly embodies a Gianciotto with a solidly hewn timbre, whose violence of gesture and speech mirrors his physical deformity.”
Jean-François Lattarico, Classique News

“Baritone George Gagnidze was excellent as the deformed Gianciotto, to whom he gave the right profile and substance in quite a few passages.”
Attilio Piovano, Il Corriere Musicale

“George Gagnidze, with a rock-solid delivery, gives voice to an authoritarian and sinister Gianciotto.”
Antonino Trotta, L’Ape Musicale

“George Gagnidze portrays a powerful Gianciotto, more virile than cruel, with a burnished timbre and incisive phrasing. Less psychologically nuanced in the staging, his character nonetheless gains in vocal authority and, as always, confirms him as an excellent baritone.”
Alessandra Giorda, TV2 Opera

“George Gagnidze is a solid and violent Gianciotto, the crippled brother”
Renato Verga, Première Loge

“As Gianciotto, George Gagnidze embodied the tortured, duped husband with impeccable projection and a voice that perfectly conveyed his inner turmoil. It was a truly impressive performance.”
Opera Diary

“An effective Gianciotto from George Gagnidze, vocally menacing to just the right degree and never overdone….”
Il Corriere dello Spettacolo

“George Gagnidze is a Gianciotto, the crippled brother, powerful and violent…”
Opera in Casa

“Another no less essential element is the solidity of the four main performers: Barno Ismatulleva (Francesca), Roberto Alagna (Paolo), George Gagnidze (Gianciotto), Matteo Mezzaro (Malatestino).”
Giovanni Gavazzeni, Il Giornale

“Also excellent were George Gagnidze (Gianciotto), Valentina Boi (Samaritana), and the many supporting cast members whom we unfortunately don’t have room to mention.”
Il Giornale della Musica
