Lacuna?

From the Times:

“The Birgit Nilsson Foundation said it would begin awarding a $1 million prize, which it is calling the largest such prize in classical music. The foundation, established by Ms. Nilsson, the Swedish soprano who died in 2005, will award the prize every two to three years to reward the outstanding achievement of a concert or opera singer, a classical or opera conductor, or a specific production by an opera company.”

I’m assuming this money comes from investments of the fees Birgit Nilsson earned by singing music in the world’s great opera companies over her forty-year career.  I’m trying to remember how such music came to be!  I’m sure it’ll come to me.
