Hero of the Week
The Canadian Opera Company (http://www.coc.ca) is finally finding its financial feet after lo these many years, and kudos to Richard Bradshaw for his part in it. The Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, despite its unimaginative/corporate name, is a fantastic venue; even seats in the highest ring are excellent, and comparatively affordable--see my comments about ticket prices in the above two posts. But Bradshaw's vision and unwavering dedication to boosting opera's appeal and to constantly upping the ante in Canadian opera production is a huge factor in our continuing and growing success in the world of opera. [In case you can't tell, I am the president of the Richard Bradshaw Fan Club.]. He is also an engaging speaker, so if you have the opportunity to hear a talk or lecture by him, do attend.
Where the name came from... it's not the penguin movie and it's not a fetish site...
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace, who brings good tidings of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns". Isaiah 52:7 RSV
I have a Masters of Theological Studies, and some other papers beginning with B. I like art, music, cats, bran muffins and photography. I love the Latin version of The Grinch. I teach high school Latin and sociology at a private Christian school (Hi Guys!!).
