Rigoletto – Dallas 2022

“The Georgian baritone George Gagnidze, today one of the most appreciated Rigolettos in the world, is simply a wonderful choice. He possesses a beautiful capacity for timbral differentiation, is an excellent actor, and his Italian pronunciation is perfect. With his physical stamina, well needed for a character singing more than 55 minutes practically without interruption in the first act only, not to mention the remaining two Acts, Mr. Gagnidze is a dream singer for any opera house.”

Giorgio Koukl, EarRelevant 

 

“On the job as court jester with a Bozo nose, George Gagnidze gives Rigoletto well-seasoned baritone riches.”

Scott Cantrell, The Dallas Morning News

 

“His Rigoletto was a portrayal of both mockery and satire, as a jester in a suit of motley, and pathos, as an outcast hovering on the fringes of noble society, whose deep love for his daughter makes him, ultimately, a sympathetic character.“

J. Robin Coffelt, Texas Classical Review

George Gagnidze a Macbeth of “round, harmonically rich vocality” in Bologna

“With Verdi, the Georgian baritone gets along fully: Rigoletto, Nabucco, Miller, Simone are also among his signature roles. He takes on the multifaceted figure of the usurping monarch with a round, harmonically rich vocality, naturally wide-ranged and generous -- at times even almost overflowing -- but well controlled…” Gilberto Mion, Teatro about George Gagnidze's portrayal of Macbeth at the Teatro Comunale of Bologna, April 2024.
