'Brilliant alchemist' inspired Toronto and its artists
Conductor's determination transformed the Canadian Opera Company - and made its new home a reality, writes Sandra MARTIN
By Sandra MARTIN, Page S10
Everything about Richard BRADSHAW was big: his personality, his intellect, his appetite for ideas and experience, his ambition, his optimism, his heart and his faith in God. He lived in Toronto for fewer than 20 years, but his impact was huge. His vision and determination built the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, one of the world's very best theatres for ballet and opera, both acoustically and architecturally. He transformed a regional opera company into an internationally recognized one; he gave us our first full production of Richard Wagner's Ring Cycle he pushed the artistic boundaries of who should direct and perform opera. He made opera the hottest ticket in town.
Tall, grey-haired and bold, with florid cheeks and eyes encased in black Buddy Holly glasses, Mr. BRADSHAW was both an artist who could inspire his musicians and an entrepreneur who could sell his vision. Asked in an interview which came first during what he liked to call "the 30 years war," making music or building an opera house, he replied: "In the middle of the night, I worry about money. When I get up in the morning, I look forward to conducting."
Writer Margaret Atwood captured that dual capacity in an e-mail message from Scandinavia. "Richard BRADSHAW was one of a kind. He was passionate about the work itself - whatever it might be - and set the highest standards for it. But he was playful and innovative as well, and a joy to work with. We saw the premiere of The Handmaid's Tale in Denmark together - and I could just hear him thinking about how he would do it if he could get it to Toronto - which he did, triumphantly. His specialty was making silk purses out of the sow's ears handed to him time and time again by our mingy politicians. Nobody could make two cents stretch as far as he could.... The best tribute to him will be to try to match his commitment to excellence, and his grand vision of what we can be - as opposed to what we sometimes all too drearily are."
Richard James BRADSHAW was born in Rugby in the British Midlands, the only child of Alfred James BRADSHAW, an accountant, and his wife, Florence Mary (DUNKLEY.) When Richard was quite small, the family moved to Higham Ferrers in Northamptonshire. From his father, an amateur musician and a dedicated rereader of Charles Dickens, he inherited a love of literature. His mother passed on her acutely sensitive ear - he once scored 100 per cent in an aural exam.
When Richard was 8, his parents took him to a piano performance of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, and it stuck as his earliest musical memory. As a boy, he was also learning to play the piano and the organ. By the time he was 12, he had a paying job playing the organ at the local church. Two years later, he took at least symbolic steps toward his career goal when he conducted a rehearsal of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony with the Kettering Orchestral Society. But music was not his entire life. He loved sports, especially cricket and rugby, and collected stamps and indulged in the peculiarly British pastime of trainspotting.
To please his accountant father, who wanted him to have a broad educational background, he studied English literature at the University of London, graduating with an honours degree in 1968. At the same time, he was continuing his musical education, playing the harpsichord, organ and even the flute and studying conducting privately with Sir Adrian Boult.
After university, he returned home and founded Music at Higham, serving as its musical director for four years. Then, with his entrepreneurial juices flowing, he moved back to the capital and founded the New London Ensemble and conducted the Saltarello Choir from 1972 to 1975. He said later (in a Toronto Life profile) that these years were "among the most wonderful" in his life because there was government money for the arts, and he felt, with the confidence of youth, that he "could do anything."
What he needed, though, was a boost so that he could work with a major orchestra. That came in the usual way: a combination of luck, talent and chutzpah. A musician friend's father heard him and introduced him to conductor Sir Colin Davis, who was intrigued enough to attend one of Mr. BRADSHAW's rare London concerts. Sir Colin then called the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, which had already declined to hear Mr. BRADSHAW conduct, and secured him an audition. Mr. BRADSHAW won a fellowship to work with the prestigious orchestra and went on to Glyndebourne in 1975 as the chorus director of its opera festival. That was where he made another fortuitous connection, with administrator Diana HEPBURNE- SCOTT. They were married on June 30, 1977. In many ways, she was Mr. BRADSHAW's antithesis - shy, intensely private - but also his steadying counterbalance - ironic, stalwart, commonsensical. It was an extremely rare rehearsal or performance that didn't find her quietly sitting in the audience, listening and watching intently.
That same year, he was invited to join the San Francisco Opera as resident conductor, a position he held for the next dozen years, mostly under Kurt Herbert Adler as general director. Mr. Adler, a Teutonic maestro who controlled every aspect of the company, from costumes and sets to maintenance budgets, was a grandiose influence on Mr. BRADSHAW. While working at San Francisco Opera, Mr. BRADSHAW often accepted appointments as a guest conductor, which is how he first came to the Canadian Opera Company in Toronto in 1988, to conduct Tosca.
In 1989, he was hired as the Canadian Opera Company's chief conductor and head of music, arriving just in time to see the elaborate plans to build a ballet and opera house in midtown Toronto jettisoned by the provincial government because of cost overruns and fundraising shortfalls. He was promoted to artistic director in 1994 after the abrupt and choleric departure of Brian DICKIE, the man who had hired him four years earlier, and was named general director in January, 1998, making him the first musician to lead the Canadian Opera Company since Ettore Mazzoleni in the late 1950s.
He conducted more than 60 operas during his tenure with the Canadian Opera Company and kept up a steady off-season life travelling around the world as a guest conductor. While he was criticized for not putting more Canadian operas on the stage - he refused to compromise his musical standards to nationalist fervour - he did commission at least two homegrown operas, The Golden Ass and The Scarlet Princess. Meanwhile, he continued the composer-in-residence program established by predecessor Lotfi Mansouri and spiced up the lineup of crowd-pleasing operas such as Carmen, The Barber of Seville and Rigoletto with edgier modern offerings, including Bluebeard's Castle, Salome and Jenufa. He also persuaded talented and innovative directors from film and theatre to work in opera.
Mr. BRADSHAW was "so passionate" about such provocative and novel approaches to presenting both new and classical work, according to film director Atom Egoyan. After seeing Mr. Egoyan's Exotica, Mr. BRADSHAW approached him about directing Salome.
"He was a brilliant alchemist who was able to put together designers and directors and singers. That was his craft," Mr. Egoyan said yesterday between preproduction meetings for his next film, Adoration. "And then he was able to respond to the production and colour the orchestra to accommodate the vision he is seeing on the stage. He was the glue that put it all together."
Salome and François Girard's production of Oedipus Rex with Symphony of Psalms (which won eight Dora Mavor Moore awards in 1997) attracted younger audiences, and Mr. BRADSHAW's decision to take productions such as Robert Lepage's double bill of Bela Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle and Arnold Schoenberg's Erwartung to the prestigious Edinburgh Festival won the company international acclaim that resounded in the box office back home. He would return to these directors when he undertook his audacious scheme to present a full Ring Cycle -- all 17 hours of it -- in 2006 to coincide with the opening of the opera house.
Journalist Barbara Amiel, a devotee of Wagner, has seen the Ring Cycle in Bayreuth, Munich, London and Berlin, among other places. "Musically, BRADSHAW's Toronto Ring matched any of them and in places, exceeded some," she said in an e-mail message this week.
"To do this with any orchestra would be magnificent. To do this with a Canadian orchestra that essentially had to learn a new language is a miracle," she said. "He sweated musicality and that orchestra he loved mopped it up. All the young musicians he laboured over and encouraged (they look like none of them have seen the other side of 30) are as much his monument as the bricks and glass of his opera house."
And it very definitely was his opera house. Architect Jack DIAMOND has been widely praised for designing an auditorium that has glorious acoustics and ambience and a building that embraces audiences and the city, but it was Mr. BRADSHAW's vision and grit that made it happen.
"What was extraordinary about Richard was his relentless optimism," said Kevin Garland, former executive director of the Canadian Opera House Corp. and now executive director of the National Ballet of Canada. "He never gave up and never stopped being determined that it would happen and never stopped badgering governments to make sure that they knew it was important to support the arts."
Richard James BRADSHAW was born in Rugby, England, on April 16, 1944. He died in Toronto of a heart attack on August 15, 2007. He was 63. He is survived by his wife, Diana, two children and extended family.
A day in the life
There must have been times when Richard BRADSHAW was in resting mode, but they aren't on record. In 2003, I shadowed him for a day that began before 9 a.m. with a planning meeting for the Ring Cycle, followed by a press conference to announce the new season, a lunchtime lecture at which he twisted a few fundraising arms, a Bay Street meeting with architect Jack Diamond before the Canadian Opera Company board's building committee, a quick trip home for dinner, during which he snatched time to play Bach's Goldberg Variations on the piano before heading to the Hummingbird Centre to oversea a rehearsal of A Masked Ball that lasted until almost midnight, when he headed home for a stack of paperwork and a large Scotch before climbing into bed. The next day, he was at it again, except he also conducted the orchestra at the dress rehearsal of Jenufa.

HILSDEN resourceful, considerate helper
By Scott DUNN, Thursday, June▼ 07, 2007
Larry HILSDEN rarely had time to stand still.
The easygoing local landlord of mostly dilapidated buildings always had another faucet to fix or stove to scrounge parts for, so he kept moving to the next task. It was common for him to be working in someone's apartment at 11 p.m.
He was killed by James MORELLI, 34, who was HILSDEN's tenant. MORELLI pleaded guilty on Wednesday to manslaughter and other charges and was sent to prison for five years.
MORELLI was living in a house under renovation with no working bathroom. He was doing work for HILSDEN around the house, including siding it, a court document says.
The night MORELLI unintentionally killed HILSDEN with a kick to the head, he had been arguing with HILSDEN about fixing the bathroom and he wanted a rent receipt. HILSDEN rebuked him for the quality of some of MORELLI's work, said the document, which was filed by the defence based on Crown disclosure of information.
HILSDEN was a slum landlord in some people's books. But that was a matter of perspective.
His tenants were often dangling from society's lowest rung, with no way to afford anything better.
Often they clung to HILSDEN for shelter and support. They depended on his tolerance for late payment.
Not all his tenants were marginalized; some just appreciated his affordable rents.
"He cut everybody a deal, or give them a break, to people who couldn't pay money at the time," Ken HILSDEN said, Larry's next oldest brother. "He'd never turn anybody away."
One of them was James MORELLI. About 2000 MORELLI arrived in Owen Sound on a bus and ended up living in HILSDEN's own house. HILSDEN supported him and paid for him to get his driver's licence. HILSDEN moved Jamie, as he's known, into another of his houses, HILSDEN's family members said.
Larry HILSDEN "bent over backwards" for MORELLI, Ken HILSDEN said.
Larry HILSDEN was a busy man, but easygoing, with a ready smile. He would slap his leg when he laughed, remembered Judy HILSDEN, his sister-in-law.
He would arrive late and leave early from family gatherings, if he got there at all. One had been scheduled to take place a few weeks after he was killed. He'd vowed at the previous gathering never to miss another one because he had so much fun.
"He only worked on urgent and important," said brother-in-law Jim Austin.
"And the list of urgent and critical was never-ending," Ken HILSDEN said.
It was common for HILSDEN to work 20-hour days before spending a month in his favourite vacation site, Rio de Janeiro.
He bought most of his properties in the 1990s, about when his downtown stereo shop, Hilsden Sight and Sound, wound down. By one count he owned 58 properties when he was killed.
For a time Larry HILSDEN owned the Savoy Theatre, now an office and apartment building just north of the Grey Granite Club. He owned the bowling alley nearby, and a Texaco Service Station on 9th Avenue East.
He also owned the Edgewater Inn, once the place to dine in Owen Sound, but not by the time he bought it; the Rock'N Roll dance bar at Sauble Beach and Ted and Grace's hamburger stand near the legion. "He tried everything," Ron HILSDEN said.
He worked in Waterloo at Mutual Life doing data processing and then he did similar work at PPG in Owen Sound.
HILSDEN showed a can-do attitude early.
In the early 1970s there were two computers in Owen Sound and Larry leased time on one at an accounting firm, then used it to do contract computing jobs for other local companies.
"Basically he didn't like working for somebody else," Ron HILSDEN said. "He was a hard worker," said his sister, Nancy Austin.
Ken HILSDEN recalled being "in awe" of his resourceful brother as a teenager.
Larry once bought a'65 Galaxy with a smashed back end. He welded the good front half to back half of another Galaxy he scrounged. Larry was Ken's mentor and inspiration for tackling his own automotive jobs.
Larry HILSDEN married twice and had two kids, Jeff, 42, and Keri, 39. When his first wife died he remarried briefly time but that ended. There are three grandchildren.
At the sentencing Wednesday, Ron HILSDEN said his brother was best man at his wedding and was the person to call for advice. "Until someone or something is gone you don't know their true value."

Worker dies
Man fell three metres into window well
By Scott DUNN, Saturday, July 28, 2007
A construction worker who fell at a building site in Owen Sound July 9 has died, Owen Sound police said Friday.
Daniel PELLETIER, 48, of Sarnia died July 24 at Saint Michael's Hospital in Toronto.
The Ministry of Labour said PELLETIER was installing window trim on the outside of a house at 555 4th Ave. W. about 3: 30 p.m. when he fell about three metres onto the concrete bottom of a window well.
Police said earlier that PELLETIER climbed out himself but suffered critical head and neck injuries.
Belinda SUTTON at the Labour Ministry said in an e-mailed response to questions that PELLETIER was taken by ambulance to the hospital in Owen Sound and then transferred to Saint Michael's.
PELLETIER was employed by Westmount Storefront Systems Limited of Kitchener, which had been subcontracted by Jesco Builders of Owen Sound to do work at the site.
The ministry issued nine orders under the Occupational Health and Safety Act to Jesco Builders, which has complied with all of them. Consequently, a guardrail system was installed and assurances were provided regarding safety equipment and measures taken, including that workers wear hard hats and that electrical extension cords are grounded.
The Ministry of Labour is still investigating. An coroner's inquest is mandatory in all construction site deaths.

City loses a 'favourite son'
By Scott DUNN, Sun Times staff, Tuesday, July 31, 2007
Bill GEORGAS cross-country skiing at the Owen Sound Golf and Country Club in February, 2005. Photo:
The end came unexpectedly for Bill GEORGAS, a man so physically impressive that at 89 he shoveled snow off his roof, in-line skated and skied.
Though small in stature, Mr. GEORGAS' remarkable physical stamina, strength and cheerful spirit were extinguished after his wife found him fallen on the stairs about 4 a.m. Monday. A post-operative examination late Monday suggested he had a heart attack that caused him to fall.
People who knew him heaped superlatives on a man Owen Sound Mayor Ruth LOVELL called a "legend," an "outstanding citizen," the "epitome of a person who loved his community," and an Owen Sound "favourite son."
Marg CAPEL, who selected Mr. GEORGAS as the feature of a "roast and toast" event in June, called him Mr. Owen Sound. She also called him a "wild man on skis."
He visited the city's 150th anniversary homecoming Meet and Greet tent Sunday for a multi-faith church service in the afternoon, then for the evening concert. His family didn't leave with him until about 10 p.m. because Mr. GEORGAS was enjoying himself, talking with people the whole night, his eldest daughter Betty GRAHAM said.
Mr. GEORGAS was the second-oldest among 10 children, all of whom were born in Owen Sound. He attended Northern Business College as a young man but he had always worked in the family movie houses, the Classic and the Savoy theatres.
When those closed he moved to another Famous Players theatre, The Roxy, as a projectionist and retired from there about 20 years ago. His daughter Betty said her dad loved life and was single-minded about things he got interested in, be it golfing, skiing, in-line skating or piano playing. He saw the good in people, as his own dad did, and was a hard worker, she said.
Freda GILLSON, Mr. GEORGAS' sister, said: "He was a very cheerful person and (was) loved by everyone who knew him. He offered encouragement and joy wherever he went."
Younger brother Jimmie GEORGAS, himself a senior champion duathlete, said "He was my mentor."
Mr. GEORGAS loved life and taking chances. When the snowbanks were high he would ski off his roof on top of them. When he was 85 and skiing alone on the West Rocks, he fell through a crevasse but managed to find a way out. He returned the next day to put down boards to protect other skiers.
He skied downhill at Blue Mountain last winter and in-line skated just a couple of weeks ago. A couple years ago he skated to Shallow Lake and back. He would head out, saying little of his destination and not carrying identification because, as he would say, everybody knew him.
In fact, he has fallen a lot and has told people he should have died 20 times over, his daughter recalled. It drove his family crazy, his daughter said.
Mr. GEORGAS's parents were Christ and Sadie GEORGAS, who were born in the Greek town of Sparta. They bought a house in Owen Sound in 1923, which still stands across from A and P.
Mr. GEORGAS was honoured by the city and by the province for his accomplishments as a volunteer. His house is full of awards and honours he received over the years. Pictures of him, usually while cross-country skiing, often appeared in The Sun Times.
In 2003 he told a reporter he'd raised about $180,000 over 23 years in the Rotary Club's annual Winterama cross-country skiing and snowmobiling fundraiser based in Wiarton.
One year he received the Rotary club's prestigious Paul Harris Award. He was inducted in the Owen Sound Sports Hall of Fame in the early 1980s for skiing.
Mr. GEORGAS played piano in local seniors' homes, jumping around excitedly as he played standards of the 1940s. His wife, Helen, would sing and invite men to dance. They did this almost daily in nursing homes around Owen Sound.
Mr. GEORGAS was also a religious man and, in April, he carried the cross for a few steps in the Good Friday procession to city hall. He admired Benny Hinn, the television preacher who claims to heal people of incurable illnesses. Mr. GEORGAS particularly admired Hinn's work to help orphans, Betty GRAHAM said.
"He had a deep compassion for underdogs and for poor people," GRAHAM said of her dad. He was known as "Bible Bill" in his youth and he believed God wanted him to do good in the community. He was a life member of the Brotherhood of Anglican Churchmen of St. George's Church in Owen Sound.
LOVELL saw Mr. GEORGAS most mornings as she walked her dog past his house. He would always ask her how she planned to keep fit that day. He once taught her to downhill ski in the Beaver Valley and left her exhausted by morning's end, while he went up and down the hill the rest of the afternoon.
"Honestly, everybody has a story because he had incredible energy, absolutely incredible energy. He defied age. The years weren't important to him."
William Christopher GEORGAS leaves his wife Helen, and their children Betty Jane and her husband Pete GRAHAM, Christopher GEORGAS and Katherine and her husband Keith McCOLL, grandchildren and great-grand children, nephews and nieces.
Visitation takes place Wednesday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Breckenridge-Ashcroft Funeral Home. The funeral service will take place at St. George's Anglican Church Thursday at 11 a.m. Interment is to take place in Greenwood Cemetery.

Man dies during late-night swim
Group jumps fence at motel
By Scott DUNN, Wednesday, August 08, 2007
A 24-year-old Hamilton man died in a closed swimming pool early Saturday morning after jumping a fence, police confirmed Tuesday.
Bruce Peninsula Ontario Provincial Police said Bruno LARANJEIRO died after getting into trouble in the pool at the Sauble Lodge Motel on Second Avenue North in Sauble Beach. Police were called at 2 a.m. to investigate a report that someone may have drowned.
"Several persons jumped the fence, locked fence, and were in the pool," Const. Dave MEYER said in an interview Tuesday. "The victim doesn't know how to swim apparently, according to the girlfriend, and she was screaming for help."
People came to his aid and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation but LARANJEIRO died, MEYER said.
A post-mortem exam was done in Owen Sound Sunday.
Police don't suspect foul play.
Asked how LARANGEIRO ended up in the pool, MEYER said "He went swimming… it was a situation he didn't know how to swim. Alcohol was involved."
LARANJEIRO had been drinking at the motel's nightclub, MEYER said.
MEYER referred questions about the cause of death to the coroner's office. Doctor Jack STANBOROUGH said Tuesday it will take more time before a death by drowning can be confirmed because it is arrived at through a process of eliminating other possible causes.
He called it an "apparent drowning."
Jaswinder GREWAL owns the Sauble Lodge Motel. She said in an interview Tuesday she closed the bar at 12: 45 a.m. Saturday and started cleaning for about 20 minutes. She went upstairs to bed and heard someone screaming about 25 minutes later.
She looked out the window and saw six or seven people in the pool.
Initially she was angry that people had jumped the fence to swim and she came down and told them to leave.
Then she grew nervous when she saw three or four people trying to pull the naked victim out of the pool.
Next she phoned 911 but was told an ambulance was already on the way. She returned to the victim and resuscitation efforts were underway. She picked up the man's cold hand.
"I couldn't sleep whole night," GREWAL said.
A pair of underwear was found in the pool later.
Jose MARTINS said in an interview LARANJEIRO and his girlfriend stayed with him and four others in Room 48. MARTINS was Friends with LARANJEIRO and occasionally they attended the same parties.
MARTINS said his friend had been drinking that night but he didn't see him enter the pool because he stayed in the bar. He said his friend was a happy, sociable man. He worked in construction, with asphalt and cement.
He understands after LARANJEIRO's funeral Thursday he will be taken to Portugal for burial.
