When conductor Richard Bradshaw died in August, Canada lost a powerful presence in its national opera scene. “He spent much of his career insisting that opera was an art form for everyone, that anyone who gave it a chance could respond to soaring human voices performing Mozart, Puccini, Verdi or Wagner.” Now, Bradshaw’s final performances with the Canadian Opera Company, performed outdoors in front of an audience of 20,000, are set to be broadcast nationwide.
