“Soprano Janai Brugger, who recently graduated from L.A. Opera’s Domingo-Thornton Young Artist Program, took home three awards – the first-place prize, a zarzuela prize and an audience award.” The other two winners of the $30,000 first prize were fast-rising New York countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo and Mongolian baritone Amartuvshin Enkhbat.
