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
