"The event of the evening, however, was the appearance of male soprano Brian Asawa, fresh from his performances with Seattle Opera as the villain in Handel's "Guilio Cesare." A dramatic and compelling singer, he brought considerable presence as well as superb technique and musicianship to arias from the opera "L'Olimpiade" and cantata "Cessate, omni cessate," both by Vivaldi."
