Julie Norman is an American soprano known for her radiant tone and expressive musicality. A graduate of the Eastman School of Music and Westminster Choir College, she also performs actively as a violinist in chamber ensembles across the Netherlands.

Praised early in her career as a Times Union "Pick of the Week" for her performances with the Capitol Chamber Artists, Julie has since built a rich career in opera, concert, and recital work. Her voice has been described as "ravishing" and "perfectly matched to the demands of coloratura" (Paul Nudelman).

She is a passionate interpreter of German lieder, a prize winner in the Jessye Kneisel Competition, and has appeared in acclaimed performances of Schumann’s Frauenliebe und Leben and works by Schubert and Wolf.

On stage, Julie has portrayed roles including Susanna (Le Nozze di Figaro), both Pamina and the Queen of the Night (Die Zauberflöte), Amina (Die Fledermaus), and Flora (The Turn of the Screw). Her role as Amore in Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice was hailed by the Times Union as “cheery, brilliant.”

A versatile artist, Julie began in vocal jazz and musical theatre at age 13, and was a principal performer at Carousel Music Theater in Maine. OperaRox! praised her NYC debut of the Queen of the Night for its “technical finesse and bell-like clarity.”

In Europe, she debuted as a soloist at Dutch National Opera with the Orfeo Foundation in 2015, and has since appeared in festivals and productions with Schiedam Opera aan de Schie, as a principal artist with De Nationale Reisopera, and more.
