-At the invitation of the famous director, Filzenshteyn, Tsisana<br />

Tatishvili and Nodar Andghuladze worked in Berlin for eight months<br />

in “Komisch Opera”. They have created unforgettable images of Aida<br />

and Radames. German experts have unanimously stated that Tsisana<br />

Tatishvili rare soprano voice, and that they had never heard such a<br />

voice alive…<br />

After the premiere in such a famous European theater, there still<br />

could be heard laudatory words about the Georgian singers ...<br />

TS.T. - When the director Felzenshteyn began preparations for staging<br />

the play , in the title roles in Aida, he invited me together with<br />
