Reviews for John's performances as Leporello, Don Giovanni, for Opera Holland Park
"...with his strong comic timing, John Savournin makes an excellent Leporello."
FINANCIAL TIMES
"John Savournin displays a warm voice and terrific comedic stage skills as his sidekick Leporello."
METRO
"John Savournin’s Leporello makes a good match; tried to the point of exasperation, he can only follow in Giovanni’s slipstream."
EVENING STANDARD
"(Riches) is well partnered by John Savournin’s Leporello, a manservant torn as much as Elvira between love and hate for his master."
THE TIMES
"John Savournin’s saturnine Leporello..."
THE STAGE
"John Savournin, moustachioed and besuited as Leporello, was his equally mellifluous fall guy."
WHATSONSTAGE
"John Savournin was the perfect foil as Leporello, a bluff cove who presents his Catalogue Aria winningly in a warm bass-baritone."
BACHTRACK
"Savournin made Leporello more sympathetic than is sometimes the case, revealing the natural comic timing which was in evidence when I saw him perform in WNO’s Kiss Me, Kate in November last year."
OPERA TODAY
"The comic timing of John Savournin’s Leporello matches his musical ability..."
LIMELIGHT MAGAZINE
"His comic timing was impeccable throughout and he displayed an ability to think on his feet as he moved from one crisis to another. The catalogue aria was exceptionally fine...."
SEEN AND HEARD INTERNATIONAL
"...his manservant Leporello, brings back to Opera Holland Park for a third time (he was striking in La Bohème last year), John Savournin. His pleasing voice and comic timing are a pleasure..."
