ater. Many times I witnessed to their success in our country and abroad.
Aleko Khomeriki revealed and his remarkable organizational skills,
under his leadership in Batumi was established the opera troupe. Interesting
performances, masterpieces were produced there. In the premiere
performance of “Aida,” I sang Amneris.
A significant creative force of Tbilisi Opera House were: Imeri Kavsadze,
Vic Glunchadze, Tengiz Zaalishvili (in his youth he was compared
with Vano Sarajishvili), Anzor Fiolia, Enrico Chikhladze, Lado
Kandelaki, Rezo Giorgadze...
None of leading theaters of the country, there was a soprano, like
Medea Amiranashvili. Medea was a brilliant actress and singer. Together
we sang in performances of “Don Carlos” and “Lohengrin.”
Those performances were unique, both in artistic and in the musical
parts. In our troupe sang Lamara Chkoniya, - she created memorable

her fine voice and good looks. Also, it should be noted Tamar Taktakishvili
singer with a very artistic, well-developed high register. Major

Mkervalidze, Maya Tomadze, Mila Bogatello, Liana Kalmakhelidze,
Maritza Maglaperidze, Mzia Davitashvili, Gayane Dolidze ... can endlessly
list. After then a new generation have come to the theater: Iano
Alibegashvili and Tamar Javakhishvili - famous singers, who appeared
today on the stages of different countries and colored the world opera
scene. The female troupe has always been strong in my theater. Tbilisi
listeners will long remember the operatic characters by Tamar Gurgenidze
and Manana Egadze. Among them are distinguished mezzosoprano
Elsa Garsevanishvili and Liana Gvedashvili. This was true, a
unique ensemble, where sang Tengiz Mushkudiani, Paata Burchuladze,
Irakli Shushaniya - World-class bass, with warm, aristocratic tone, full,
strong voice.
With the troupe like this had to work the famous directors. I have
personally worked with Guram Meliva, with a talented, very interesting
director who likes to innovate. Also with well-known directors:
Robert Sturua, Michael Tumanishvili. I worked with great Dimitri
Aleksidze, Director Gizo Zhordania. Each of them is the master of his
