Barry Tucker, President of the Richard Tucker Music Foundation, said:

"We are thrilled to be giving the Richard Tucker Award to Ailyn Pérez, a wonderful young soprano who sings with incredible beauty and heart. I first heard Ailyn singing La traviata at our auditions and was really impressed and moved, and I got to know her much better when Stephen Costello, her husband, won the Richard Tucker Award three years ago. I told him then how lucky he was to have such a lovely and talented wife, and we are so happy to be able to recognize her in her own right today. I know she will make the Richard Tucker Foundation proud.”
