Early yearsSullivan was born Harry Joseph Sullivan in Oakland, California. After living in Salt Lake City, the family moved to Los Angeles, where he attended Manual Arts High School.[1] His initial study of singing occurred late in his high school years.[2] He went on to study voice at the University of Southern California.[1] CareerUnable to find openings in operas early in his career, Sullivan delved into musical comedy productions and toured with the Ice Follies for one winter.[2] In 1943, he gained performing experience with the American Music Theatre in Pasadena, California. His performances there led to a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film studios, but that was interrupted when he went into the U.S. Army. He began his military service in the motor pool but soon was transferred to Special Services.[3] In 1946, Sullivan sang the role of Gaylord Ravenal[2] in a revival of Show Boat in New York.[4] A year later, he performed on Broadway in Street Scene.[5] His audition for the Metropolitan Opera occurred during the run of Street Scene,[9] and at the close of that production he was signed by the Central City Opera in Colorado to sing in its presentation of Fidelio.[6] Sullivan debuted at the Metropolitan Opera in 1948, in the title role in Peter Grimes.[4] He also became "the first American singer in a generation to sing the title role in Wagner's Lohengrin."[7] Sullivan was heard frequently on The Bell Telephone Hour on radio and appeared often on The Voice of Firestone on television.[2] FilmsSullivan's screen debut came in an uncredited part in This Man's Navy (1945). He also had bit parts in Thrill of a Romance (1945) and Courage of Lassie (1946).[1] RecordingsIn 1947, Columbia Records released a six-record album of music from Street Scene, with Sullivan and other cast members performing songs from the Broadway production.[8] Personal lifeSullivan married Marie Pauline Horn on April 2, 1938. They had three children.[1] DeathOn June 17, 1969, Sullivan's body was found floating in Lake Geneva. He had been in Geneva, Switzerland, to sing the lead in a production of Götterdämmerung at the Grand Théâtre de Genève.[9] He had been missing for several days.[10] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite journal|last1=Wagner|first1=Laura|title=Brian Sullivan: Unhook the Stars and Take Them Down|journal=Classic Images|date=April 2018|issue=514|pages=14–15, 58–61}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Sullivan, Brian}}{{US-opera-singer-stub}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|title=Brian Sullivan Sings SR Concert Wednesday|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/20030651/brian_sullivan/|work=The Press Democrat|date=March 8, 1959|location=California, Santa Rosa|page=15 F|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = May 12, 2018}} {{Open access}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Bates|first1=Hal|title=Pasadena Opera Stars Brian Sullivan as 'Otello'|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/20028428/brian_sullivan/|work=The Van Nuys News|date=January 26, 1968|location=California, Van Nuys|page=14|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = May 12, 2018}} {{Open access}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|title=New 'Met' Star Will Make Local Debut Monday|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/20028051/brian_sullivan/|work=Hartford Courant|date=February 1953|location=Connecticut, Hartford|page=Part V - 14|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = May 12, 2018}} {{Open access}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Brian Sullivan|url=https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/brian-sullivan-93311|website=Internet Broadway Database|publisher=The Broadway League|accessdate=13 May 2018|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180513011936/https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/brian-sullivan-93311|archivedate=13 May 2018}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Tenor Brian Sullivan To Sing Here Tuesday|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/20047549/brian_sullivan/|work=Eureka Humboldt Standard|date=March 23, 1960|location=California, Eureka|page=12|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = May 13, 2018}} {{Open access}} 7. ^1 {{cite news|title=Brian Sullivan To Appear In Concert Here Tuesday|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/20030257/brian_sullivan/|work=Asheville Citizen-Times|date=March 13, 1955|location=North Carolina, Asheville|page=D - 5|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = May 12, 2018}} {{Open access}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Sherman|first1=Thomas B.|title=Weekly Review of the New Records|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/20031845/brian_sullivan/|work=St. Louis Post-Dispatch|date=May 28, 1947|location=Missouri, St. Louis|page=4 D|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = May 12, 2018}} {{Open access}} 9. ^{{cite news|title=Brian Sullivan found dead in Geneva lake|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/20052919/brian_sullivan/|work=Redlands Daily Facts|date=June 18, 1969|location=California, Redlands|page=4|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = May 13, 2018}} {{Open access}} 10. ^{{cite news|title=Tenor Sullivan Found Dead in Swiss Lake|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/20151437/brian_sullivan/|work=The Los Angeles Times|date=June 18, 1969|location=California, Los Angeles|page=Part II - 5|via = Newspapers.com|accessdate = May 17, 2018}} {{Open access}} 3 : 1917 births|1969 deaths|20th-century American singers |
