About the author
Joseph So
Joseph K. So is Professor Emeritus at Trent University in
Peterborough, Ontario. But his first love is music, which he studied
as an undergraduate student at the State University of New York. Since
seeing his first live opera - La Gioconda with Renata Tebaldi at the
Met in 1967, the singing voice became his lifelong favourite
instrument. Over the last forty-two years, he has seen approximately
2,200 classical music performances, with the bulk of these vocal
concerts and operas. He is Associate Editor of Opera Canada, where he
has written numerous articles and reviews. He is also an opera critic
for Opera (UK), CD reviewer for Opus, and a frequent contributor to
the Canadian Encyclopedia of Music, in addition to writing for both
the print and web editions of La Scena Musicale/The Music Scene.
