LIVING THE MUSIC
In My Words
I didn’t begin my professional life on stage. Before opera became my path, I worked as a teacher and a translator for the Red Cross — supporting families affected by armed conflict. It was meaningful work. But something deeper kept calling.
I trained in Russia, Scotland, and France, and step by step, my life shifted toward music. Today, I perform leading bass roles across major European opera houses and festivals. Each role challenges me, each performance pushes me further — artistically, vocally, and as a human being.
I see every performance as a dialogue — not just with the audience, but with the character, the composer, and the times we live in. I aim to bring clarity, depth, and presence to each role, whether it's Wagner, Mozart, or Verdi.
Opera is not only about the voice. It's about presence, truth, and the ability to carry a story. This is what I strive for.
Quotes
Excerpt from a review by E. Shishkova, classical music blogger
״Gevorg Grigoryan (Oroveso) — profound, tragic, powerful, with a sharply defined interpretation shaped by truly dramatic immersion from beginning to end.״
Comment by audience member @kultura_online (Instagram)
״Gevorg Grigoryan and his Leporello were the perfect dramatic and vocal foil to the title role. Gevorg’s vocal qualities consistently impress and captivate with their firmness, conviction, and, at times, piercing intensity. His artistry is remarkable — his ability to fully inhabit the characters he portrays never fails to inspire admiration.״
Excerpt from an article by A. Alekseeva, opera critic
״Gevorg Grigoryan presented the shoemaker-poet Hans Sachs — the true guardian of living art — with grandeur, vocal power, and dramatic mastery. This made the monologue “Wahn! Wahn! Überall Wahn!”, a reflection on the world’s descent into madness, not just a powerful scene written in the score, but the true climax of the performance.״
