VERDI Monterone RIGOLETTO Germont TRAVIATA Ford FALSTAFF SOME REVIEWS FRIEDRICH - LIEBESVERBOT - MUNICH Friedrich is the forerunner of the Dutchman, Tannhäuser and Amfortas, though he meetes with a happy ending. Costumed effectively to look like Franz Liszt, he is the only flesh-and-blood character in the piece, and his long aria of fespair in Act II is the work´s musical highlight. Baritone Thomas Gazheli is blessed with an enormous voice and significant dramatic persuasion. His portrayal of Friedrch was a tour de force. (OPERA NEWS Jeffrey A.

(El Diario Montanes -Santander -Dario Fernandez-2.08.2005) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Brillaron en el elenco el veterano tenor mexicano Francisco Araiza, y el baritono Thomas Gazheli, notable actor en un Alberich mas doliente que siniestro: las confrontaciones de ambos supusieron los mejores instantes vocales de la noche.(LA RAZON - 2-08.2005 ( J.L.Perez de Arteaga ) ________________________________________________________________________________ El apartado vocal contribuyo tanbien a la brillante consecucion final, ambito este en el que destacaron el tenor Francisco Araiza y el baritono Thomas Gazheli. ...En cuanto al segundo, su labor escenica resulto admirable y su voz sono consistente y bien modulada.(EL CORREO 2.08.05) ________________________________________________________________________________ Quedandonos con lo mjor es indispensable acudir a dos bajos, pilares de esta produccion y que si tuvieramos medidores de aplausos en sala nos confirmarian que fueron los que mas calor recibieron del publico.

( SCHERZO octobre 2005) ________________________________________________________________________________ Thomas Gazheli encarnó con mucha autoridad a un ‘Alberich’ hiperactivo y detestable: miserable y viscoso con las hijas del Rhin, y tirano y sin escrúpulos con ‘Mime’, ‘Loge’ y ‘Wotan’. En posesión de una potentísima voz supo cantar sin sacrificar la expresividad que requiere su papel.(Mundoclasico.com Santander 2.08.2005) _______________________________________________________________________________ También fue muy aplaudida la interpretación de los cantantes y especialmente la de los bajos Thomas Gazheli, que brilló en su papel del nibelungo Alberich, Xionlang Li (el gigante Fasolt) , así como la del tenor Francisco Araiza (Loge). De éstos destacó por su buen hacer, con una voz bien impostada, el Alberich de Thomas Gazheli (OPERA ACTUAL - Audustin Achucarro) ______________________________________________________________ Schließlich die stimmliche Sensation der Aufführung - Thomas Gazheli als Alberich im korrekten Geschäftsanzug, der in seiner Vitalität ganz und gar nicht abstoßend sondern geradezu begehrenswert erscheint. Dem entspricht die virile Stimme, die keine Schwachstellen hören läßt und in der Fluchszene in eine existenzielle Dimension vordringt.( Orpheus 11+12.2005 Bernd Hoppe) So wie im Jahr 2000 Duccio dal Monte als Hagen oder 2001 Gertrud Ottenthal als Siegliende für Furore sorgten, gelang Thomas Gazheli in diesem allerletzten Erler-Ring als Alberich im 2Rheingold“ eine fulminante Deutung-ein bissig gieriger Zeitgenosse, der phantasievoll mit keckem Gestus und Kernig-Plastischem baritonaler Klasse auftrumpft. Seinem Wanderer (Siegfried) entlockt er selten erlebte Charakterstärken- der großväterliche, nachdenkliche oder nur weise dargebotene Wanderer gehört bei ihm der Vergangenheit an.
