NEW YORK (AP) — An intriguing array of up-and-coming vocal talent went a long way to add some spice to a program that was overstuffed with operatic chestnuts at this year’s Richard Tucker Gala.
Among the promising young singers was soprano Ailyn Perez, this year’s winner of the $30,000 award given annually by the foundation that is named for the great tenor who died in 1975. The foundation supports the work of gifted American opera singers through a variety of programs and uses the gala concert and dinner to raise funds.
