- Cesare Sodero was born in Naples, Italy on August 2, 1886. At the Naples Conservatory he studied with Giuseppe Martucci, graduating at age fourteen in 1900. The following year he made his conducting debut. He toured Europe as a cellist until 1906 when he was invited by Oscar Hammerstein I to join his opera company in New York. He was principal cellist of the Manhattan Opera Company until its demise in 1910. Sodero then embarked upon a career conducting various opera companies. In 1914 he became principal conductor of the New York Recording Department of Thomas A. Edison. Between 1914 and 1925 Sodero participated in numerous recordings, particularly of operatic excerpts. From 1925 through 1934, Sodero focused his energies on radio, conducting hundreds of operatic and symphonic broadcasts. He eventually became music director of the Mutual Radio Network. From 1934 to 1942 he was conductor of the Mendelssohn Glee Club of New York. From 1942 until his death, Sodero was a conductor of Italian opera at the Metropolitan Opera.
