Georgian baritone Misha Kiria studied at the Tbilisi State Conservatory and at the Teatro alla Scala Academy in Milan. His repertoire includes numerous roles — Bartolo from 'Il barbiere di Siviglia', Don Magnifico from 'La Cenerentola', Don Alfonso from 'Così fan tutte', and the title role in 'Falstaff'.
Remarkable charm and acting talent quickly made him a favourite of audiences, critics, and opera houses alike. He is particularly good in comic roles: without ever overstepping the bounds of appropriateness, he reveals all the comedy and humour of his characters.
Among the recent highlights of Misha Kiria's career are Falstaff at the Verdi Festival in Parma, Bartolo at the Dutch National Opera, Lord Sidney from 'Il viaggio a Reims' at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Blanzac from 'La scala di seta' at La Scala, Belfiore from 'Il giorno di regno' at the Teatro Filarmonico in Verona, Don Magnifico at the Frankfurt Opera, Zarete in Donizetti's 'Il paria' at the Barbican Hall in London, Falstaff in Madrid, Dulcamara at the Glyndebourne Festival, and Fra Melitone at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. And that is far from the full list...
'Incredible, sunny charm combined with a warm, memorable timbre and stunning acting talent give audiences a complete sense of presence and a great boost of good mood' — that is what critics write about him."
