About The Sullivan Awards
The Foundation was established in 1956 through the estate of William Matheus Sullivan, a prominent New York lawyer and opera-lover who presented opera performances sung by Metropolitan Opera artists in his country home in Ridgefield, Connecticut. More than one thousand young singers have received support from the Sullivan Foundation.
