On Nino Machaidze’s new recording for Sony Classical, 'Arias & Scenes', she is joined by the Orchestre national de France and their resident Maestro Daniele Gatti.

French repertoire has become a major part of Machaidze’s career, and is represented in this recital with arias by Massenet, Bizet and Ambroise Thomas. Machaidze debuted the role of Thaïs in 2012 alongside Plácido Domingo in the lead role of Athanaël in Seville.

Since her momentous breakthrough replacing Anna Netrebko as Juliette alongside Rolando Villazon’s Roméo in Salzburg’s 2008 production of Roméo et Juliette (Gounod), Nino’s career has taken off. In a short amount of time she debuted at many of the world’s major opera houses, in the lead heroine-roles alongside some of the greatest singers of our time, including  Plácido Domingo and Vittorio Grigolo.
