Julie Norman, American Soprano, holds degrees in Voice Performance & Music Literature from Westminster Choir College and the Eastman School of Music. Featured often as a recitalist, Julie was praised by the Times Union in New York as a "Pick of Week," for her touring performances as the Soloist with the Capitol Chamber Artists in the Kleine Magnificat by Bach. "Julie Norman's voice was perfectly matched to the demands of the nearly constant coloratura, and her ravishing vocal quality gave this piece the great chance for acceptance that it deserves." (Paul Nudelman, Arts and Entertainment).

A fan of German lieder and Mozart, Julie and was a prize winner in the Jessye Kneisel German Lieder competition, and has done multiple performances of the roles of Susanna in "Le Nozze di Figaro," Pamina and the Queen of the Night in "The Magic Flute." She sand in MosaicArts Opera series of Gluck's "Orfeo ed Euridice," and was reviewed again by the Times Union for her performancea as the "Cheery, brilliant Amore."

Miss Norman has enjoyed singing roles from all ends of the spectrum, beginning with vocal jazz and musical theatre when she was 15, and later entering a new world as Flora in Benjamin Britten's "The Turn of the Screw," and the title role in Purcell's "The Fairy Queen," at the Euroculture Festival in Auvergne, along with working as a principal actor and singer at the Carousel Music Theater in Boothbay Harbor Maine.

Julie was thrilled to have active seasons in NYC, singing the roles of Queen of the Night in Mozart's "Die Zauberflote," and Annina and Adele in performances of "La Traviata," and "Die Fledermaus." Of several reviews, she was mentioned by "OperaRox!": "Soprano Julie Norman’s Queen of the Night took command of the stage, her bell-like voice gracefully executing the arias with technical finesse."

Julie joined the European opera scene as a soloist at the Dutch National Opera house with the Orfeo Foundation in July 2015. She has been featured in the Schiedam Opera aan die Schie festival, and as a Principal Artist in multiple recitals and concerts.

This last year, Julie performed as a soloist in the Brahms Requiem and Wagner's Parsifal as part of the Weltatem Virtual Reality Opera Experience with De Nationale Reisopera, in Enschede, Netherlands.

She can be seen this September (2017) repeating this same performance in six productions of "Weltatem" with Musica Sacra, Maastricht.
