TORONTO --- Richard Bradshaw, the British conductor who waged what he
often called "the thirty years war" to build an opera house in Toronto,
died Wednesday evening of an apparent heart attack at Pearson airport
after returning from a holiday with his wife in the Maritimes.  He was
63.

Born in Rugby, England in 1944, Mr.  Bradshaw graduated from the
University of London in 1965.  After a career in England as a choral and
opera conductor, he became resident conductor at the San Francisco Opera
from 1977 to 1989 before he was hired by the Canadian Opera Company in
Toronto as general director.
