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, her passion for music spans the realms of choral, opera, and musical theatre. She is also active as a violinist in chamber ensembles in the Netherlands.

Praised early in her career as a Times Union "Pick of the Week" for her performances with the New York Capitol Chamber Artists, Julie has since enjoyed rich experiences across operatic, 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 (in separate performances of 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.” For her NYC debut of Queen of the Night, OperaRox! praised her voice for its “technical finesse and bell-like clarity.”

Julie came to vocal performance at a young age after learning about the Big Band era of jazz by her Grandfather, a sax and clarinet player who dropped out of Juilliard in the late 1930s to tour with legends Count Basie and Duke Ellington. Julie started studying vocal jazz at age 13, with her voice developing towards musical theatre and classical music around 16 years old. Later on during her opera career, she was a principal performer at Carousel Music Theater in Maine.

In Europe, she debuted as a soloist at Dutch National Opera with the Orfeo Foundation in 2015, and appeared in festivals and productions with Schiedam Opera aan de Schie, as a principal artist with De Nationale Reisopera, and in Antwerp with the American Women's Club as a recital artist.

Julie resides in Utrecht Province, Netherlands, with her husband and daughter.
