Press
“The most confident singing came from the Serbian bass, Sava Vemic, as Rodolfo. Mr. Vemic brought a mellow, full-bodied voice, a feeling for bel canto phrasing and commanding stage presence to his portrayal.”
February 10, 2016
“Oroveso was impressively embodied by the young Serbian bassist Sava Vemić. Tall and stage-imposing, with a deep bass profundo voice that is so lacking in our time and in the future ideal for the big Verdian roles"
Kathimerini (Athens), September 2023
