The Stephen Shrestinian Award for Excellence
supports the professional development of young artists and
honors a young man whose talent enriched our productions for
several seasons.
Stephen was a member of BLO’s professional
chorus and sang supporting roles. A gifted musician and a
born performer, Stephen passed away suddenly in 1996 at the
age of 29. The Stephen Shrestinian Award of Excellence commemorates
his passionate love for opera and his exceptional performance
skills. The annual cash award will be given to a member of
the Boston Lyric Opera ensemble who has demonstrated exceptional
artistic growth and shown great promise for continued achievement.
The award will be used to support continued professional development
and training such as taking a movement, dance or acting class;
coaching a new role; or paying a portion of graduate school
tuition.
For more information about the Fund, or
