Joseph Maas

Joseph Maas (30 January 1847 in Dartford, England – 16 January 1886 in London) was an English tenor singer.

He became a chorister in Rochester Cathedral.

In February 1871 he made his first success by taking Sims Reeves's place at a concert in London.

In 1878 he became principal tenor in the Carl Rosa Opera Company, his beautiful voice and finished style more than compensating for his poor acting.

[1] Maas died from rheumatic gout on 16 January 1886.
