Shrestinian Award

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 to make a contribution, please contact Chris Marrion at (617) 542-4912, ext. 264 or cmarrion@blo.org.
