Brian Castles-Onion is one of Australia’s most exciting and well-known opera conductors. His career expands internationally, having worked at New York’s Metropolitan Opera and the Julliard School of Music. His love of opera began when he was just 4 years old, at which point his weekly  accumulation of new LPs began, creating what is now one of the largest private collections of vocal recordings in the world. 

He’s worked with Sumi Jo, Kiri Te Kanawa, Placido Domingo, and in March and April 2021 he’s conducting La Traviata’s triumphant return to Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour.
