Korean-Canadian Bass Won Cho is in demand in both concert and operatic repertoire worldwide thanks to the unique range and beauty of his voice as well as his outstanding acting ability and strong stage presence, appearing with many of the opera houses and orchestras of the US, Canada, Europe, Mid East, Asia, and his native Korea. Critics hailed Cho’s performances as “Expertly played whose deep tones vibrate the seats,” “One wished the score let him sing his overcoat aria twice,” “Won Cho steal(s) the show,” “Deep resonant mellifluous sound," "He sang with a grave, classic beauty," “A particularly dark, melodic yet rafter-ringing bass that is worth the price of admission all by itself.”
