Richard Bradshaw, 1944-2007

Richard Bradshaw, the general director of the Canadian Opera Company, died on Wednesday night of an apparent heart attack. He was 63.

I was lucky to hear Bradshaw speak at Trinity College two years ago - he was a sincere, impassioned and successful advocate for the performing arts in Canada, and his sudden death is sad for opera, and sad for all of us.

I see that your blog isn't attached to the party and the party line.

Looks promising and I'll be back. But you have no email posted!

Anyway, here's an interesting discussion about blogosphere:
