    • Gevorg Hakobyan’s Paolo was superbly sung. His baritone has a touch of acid to the tone, making the evil of his character’s motivations even more apparent. The voice is so firm, and completely even from top to bottom, ringing out thrillingly into the house. Hakobyan also sang with scrupulous attention to the text, filling the words with meaning.

    • Il Paolo Albiani del baritono Gevorg Hakobyan, forte di un’emissione sonora, duttile e dal bel corpo di armonici, è in via crescente ben restituito nella foggia boitiana alla Jago, fra le pieghe di uno stile subdolamente galante come nella ballata “L’atra magion vedete?” destinata a narrare la prigionia di Maria/Amelia sui lividi commenti dell’orchestra e il sottovoce del coro di tenori e bassi o tra gli affondi che ne rivelano i tratti più autentici di un’anima nera." [Translated] "The Paolo Albiani of the baritone Gevorg Hakobyan, strong in his sonorous, ductile emission and with a fine body of harmonics, is increasingly well rendered in the Boitian style à la Jago, between the folds of a deviously gallant style as in the ballad ‘L'atra magion vedete? ‘ destined to narrate the imprisonment of Maria/Amelia over the livid comments of the orchestra and the sotto voce of the chorus of tenors and basses, or amidst the lunges that reveal the most authentic traits of a black soul.

    • Sbalzato con cura e vigore anche il Paolo Albiani di Gevorg Hakobyan, dall’emissione omogenea e dalla dizione scandita. Ben modulato nella scena iniziale e assai drammatico nella maledizione, rende con tragica verità la fine della sua storia, tra orgoglio e coscienza del fallimento." [Translated] "Gevorg Hakobyan's Paolo Albiani, with his homogeneous emission and marked diction, is also carefully and vigorous. Well modulated in the opening scene and highly dramatic in the curse, he renders the end of his story with tragic truth, between pride and consciousness of failure.

    • Ottimo anche Gevorg Hakobyan nei panni di Paolo Albiani, il baritono eccelle per espressività dimostrando anch’egli un perfetto controllo nella parte più lirica e in quella più “recitata”." [Translated] "Also excellent was Gevorg Hakobyan as Paolo Albiani, the baritone excelling in expressiveness, also demonstrating perfect control in the more lyrical and the more ‘acted’ parts.
