REVIEW: Und also sieht Georgios Iatrou – singend, rezitierend, sprechend - wie Edward Snowden aus, der seine „Victims“-Aktenordner durchblättert, während er sich auf seinen vier Quadratmetern – auf dem Turm, der inmitten der Instrumente steht – wie Julian Assange in der Enge bewegt und, das ist pure Absicht, seine zwischen Wahnsinn und Prophetie changierenden Allmachtsfantasien („Auch Zeus wird stürzen“) in jenem Moment verkündet, in dem die Kamera ihn als Opfer des großen Auges von oben in den Blick nimmt.
-Der Opernfreund
REVIEW: "The singers undoubtedly deserve the greatest praise. The two baritones Georgios Iatrou (Prometheus, Jupiter) and James Young (Okeanos, Demogorgon) and the soprano Caroline Adler (Io, Apollo, Mother Earth) have achieved remarkable things - starting with the bloodcurdling screams and the rhythmically declaimed chanting passages of the first half in ancient Greek - and so contributed decisively to the success of the performance. This was recognized accordingly by the audience with long-lasting applause, standing ovations and shouts of bravo. "

Thank you derOpernfreund for this beautiful critic for my recital with Yorgos Ziavras in Bayreuth: "...Iatrou empathizes with the songs, while at the same time giving them the rhetorical precision that the text deserves through the lyrical fullness and emphasis of his chiaroscuro voice...The baritone also interprets this unmistakable Mahler song (ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen) with strong, quiet emphasis...His Greek colleague Yorgos Ziavras is the ideal man at the piano: a symbiosis, no “accompaniment ” - or if so, then with the greatest discretion and the best of understanding. “Lieder über eine Krise” is the subtitle of the program. Occasionally, a crisis can sound very nice..." https://www.deropernfreund.de/pionteks-bayreuth-6.html

Critic the barber in Dublin:..."Figaro was sung by exciting Greek baritone GEORGIOS IATROU, who has wowed audiences with his performances in this role to date"..." Il personaggio di Figaro è stato, assegnato al baritono greco Georgios Iatru. Come lupus in fabula, anzi come “formaggio sui maccheroni” (volendo usare le sue stesse parole) , si rende da subito complice del quasi ingenuo Conte Almaviva nel suo intento di conquistare la bella Rosina. Divertente e affabile, come ogni barbiere che si rispetti, dal primo ingresso in scena."
