Zurab Sotkilava (Tenor)

Zurab Sotkilava was born on March 12, 1937, in Sukhumi, Georgia.

He began his vocal career after a technical education. In 1965 he graduated from the Tbilisi Conservatoire (class Prof. David Anguladze) and a few years later he finished his post-graduate course. From 1965 to 1974 he was a soloist of the Georgian Opera and Ballet Theatre. From 1966 to 1968 he was probationer at La Scala (class maestro Barra), Milan. Since 1974 he has been a soloist of the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre. He is the People’s Artist of Georgia and the USSR (1979).

Sotkilava’s remarkable vocal qualities and perfect mastery of the "instrument" are enhanced by a striking dramatic talent. His beautiful, bright voice is highly esteemed among opera lovers both in Georgia and abroad.

His repertoire includes almost all the main tenor roles: Abesalom (Paliashvili “Abesalom and Eteri”), Jose (“Carmen”), Cavaradossi (“Toska”), Calloandro (“La Molinara”), Vaudemont (“Iolanta”), The Indian Guest (“Sadko”), Count Golitsyn (“Khovanschina”), The Pretender (“Boris Godunov”), Otello (“Otello”), Radames(“Aida”), Ricardo (“Un ballo in Maschera”), Izmael (“Nabucco”). Zurab Sotkilava is considered one of the best performers of the part of Turiddu in Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana.

He is also much in demand as a concert artist in Georgia, Russia and abroad. In addition, he gives numerous concerts as a recitalist, his repertoire including romances by both Georgian and foreign composers as well as Russian, Neapolitan, Georgian and Mengrelian folk songs.

Professor at the Moscow State Conservatoire, Zurab Sotkilava is a winner of the State Prize of Georgia.
