  • Kathimerini, Athens: review of Oroveso in Odeon of Herodes Atticus Theater in Athens (7-September-2023):
    "GRE: Τον Οροβέζο ενσάρκωσε εντυπωσιακά ο νέος Σέρβος μπάσος Σάβα Βέμιτς. Ψηλός και σκηνικά επιβλητικός, με βαθιά φωνή μπάσο προφόντο που τόσο λείπει στην εποχή μας και μελλοντικά ιδανικός για τους μεγάλους βερντιανούς ρόλους.
    ENG: 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.”

 

 

  • OperaWire, Palermo: review of Ferrando in Teatro Massimo in Palermo (20-Jul-2021): "Ferrando was played by Sava Vemic. He possesses a well-supported, clear toned bass which he used well to characterize the part. In the opening scene he successfully captured the horror of the events which led to the present situation. His crafting of recitatives was secure and the aria “Abbietta zingara, fosca vegliarda” displayed agility”

    ENG: “The Serb not only sings the king with an opulent, huge and yet very agile black bass, but also puts an easily offended, jealous man on stage as differentiated as possible.”

 

  • OnlineMerker, Munich: review of Gremin in Gärtnerplatztheater (9-Oct-2020): "DEU: Sava Vemic singt und es öffnen sich Urgründe. Mühelos öffnet der junge serbische Bass schwarze tiefste Register, bleibt da völlig unangestrengt und schwingt sich genauso durch alle Lagen – auf diese Qualität hat die Welt gewartet.
    ENG: Sava Vemic sings and primeval grounds open up. The young Serbian bass effortlessly opens the black lowest registers, remains there completely effortlessly and swings through all registers - the world has been waiting for this quality.”.

  • On line Marker, Paris: review of Don Carlo in Paris Opera (26-Oct-2019): "...den René Pape überzeugend darstellte : wunderbar seine Mezzavoce in „Ella giammai m’amo“ bevor er seine mächtigen Bass in den Saal schleuderte. Ihm absolut ebenbürtig als Stimme war Sava Vemić in der wichtigen Rolle des Frate (Geist von Karl dem V.), den wir zum ersten Mal hier in einer größeren Rolle hörten...”
    “René Pape convincing: marvelously his mezzavoce in " Ella giammai m'amo " before hurling his mighty bass into the hall. Equally equal to him as a voice was Sava Vemić in the important role of the Frate (Spirit of Charles V), whom we heard here for the first time in a larger role...”

  • Musical America (chosen as Artist of the Month April 2015): "In Donizetti’s Roberto Devereux, the role of Sir Walter Raleigh is a bass cameo, unlikely to be singled out for review.

  • Allegri con Fuoco: review of Roberto Devereux (08-June-2014): “Bass Sava Vemic, as Sir Walter Raleigh, had a very minor role, but was alarmingly powerful, especially for someone so young. He has a lot of promise with the punch he packs. In terms of the sheer girth and weight of his deep bass he dwarfed even the seasoned Devia. Truly surprising and very exciting.”
