“Anita Rachvelishvili is ‘without doubt the best Verdi mezzo-soprano today on the planet,’ according to the conductor Riccardo Muti.”

“Long, black curly hair, strict but at the same time very tender - a view of this beautiful Georgian lady would convince you that she is the best Bizet’s Carmen ever. Anita is the youngest opera singer to have opened a season at the La Scala Theatre.”

“Carmen, Anita Rachvelishvili brought her customary lush voice to the role of the gypsy. It’s hard to find a better singer who possesses all the qualities needed for Carmen ”

“Most impressive is Georgian mezzo Anita Rachvelishvili, terrifying as gypsy woman Azucena with blood-curdling low notes and a searing upper range.”
