Taiwanese-American Joseph Hu is one of America's important character tenors, sought after for roles such as Goro in Madama Butterfly, both Pang and Pong in Turandot, Steuermann in Der fliegende Holländer. Following a recent performance of Madama Butterfly with San Diego Opera, Mr. Hu garnered critical acclaim as "a first-rate comprimario tenor." in 2009 he added the role of Mime to his repertoire, which he covered for Seattle Opera, in both Das Rheingold and Siegfried as part of Wagner Ring Cycle. Last season's engagements included a reprisal of the role of Goro in Madama Butterfly with San Diego Opera and Toledo Opera, Eisslinger in Die Meistersinger with San Francisco Opera.
