| "Her sorely-tried fiancé, Masetto,
was strongly portrayed and sung by baritone Krassen Karagiozov." |

|
| "The true male lead is Alfredo's father,
Giorgio, whose music calls for pages of smooth, powerful singing.
Krassen Karagiozov's confidently supported, attractive baritone
brought out much of the part's beauties, especially in the aria
"Di Provenza il mar." |

|
| "The man who gave a bravura performance
in La Traviata was the magnificent baritone, Krassen Karagiozov,
as Giorgio Germont, father of Alfredo. Later...Karagiozov
demonstrated in two great arias all the qualities one listens for
in an excellent baritone; vocal strength and authority, beauty
of tone, great range, and the ability to utilize all these strengths
to sustain his part in the drama." |

| "And the Bulgarian baritone Krassen Karagiozov
was excellent as the Father." |

|
| "Krassen Karagiozov as the other schemer
Gardefeu also turns in a fine vocal and acting performance" |

| |
|
| "Krassen Karagiozov sang the consul Sharpless
vibrantly, exhibiting great sympathy towards Butterfly's predicament
and a troubled allegiance to Pinkerton." |

|
| "Only Krassen Karagiozov's Schaunard ...
felt firmly grounded." (La Boheme) |
|

| |
|
| |
|
| "The best singing in the show benefits
either from power and stylistic refinement, with Don Giovanni (Krassen
Karagiozov)... shining brightest in those terms." |
|
| Ken Keufel, Winston-Salem Journal |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| "The smooth, even baritone of Krassen Karagiozov
was a wonder and a delight, as was his extremely self-confident
and self-absorbed portrayal of Don Giovanni." |
|
| William Thomas Walker, CVNC |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| "Krassen Karagiozov, a baritone from Bulgaria,
was almost too believable as the lust-driven Tarquinius. From his
hair-trigger temper in the Roman camp to his barely contained passion
when he sought hospitality from Lucretia, he was a threatening
presence. I began to fear the stage director would not have the
scrim to cover the rape scene quickly enough." |
|
| William Thomas Walker, CVNC |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| "Krassen Karagiozov's smooth baritone gave
the Count nobility without losing his lascivious side." (The
Marriage of Figaro) |

|
| |
|
| |
|
| "CVNC has frequently chronicled the artistic
growth of veteran Fletcher scholar Krassen Karagiozov. His firm
baritone and engaging impersonation were welcome in the role of
the sailor Silvano." |
