After the riotous critical success of her role debut as Lulu, the “grandiose soprano” (FAZ) has been nominated for both prestigious German Theater Prize Der Faust for her portrayal of Lulu, and Opus Klassik’s Singer of the Year for her interpretation of Bubikopf in her recording of Der Kaiser von Atlantis. Juliana was featured on the cover of the May 2023 edition of Opernwelt Magazine.
On the opera stage this season she sings Najade in Ariadne auf Naxos at Opernhaus Zürich directed by Andreas Homoki, makes her role debut as Zerbinetta Ariadne auf Naxos in a new production with the Nederlandse Reisopera, and Shoko in a new production of Thomas Larcher’s Das Jagdgewehr at the Bayerische Staatsoper (Cuvilliés Theater) directed by Ulrike Schwab. She also returns to Staatstheater Darmstadt for a revival of L’elisir d’amore as Adina.
In concert, she performs a world premiere with the Copenhagen Philharmonic by Matias Vestergård titled Melodrama and gives a recital with pianist Marlene Heiss at the Berlin Philharmonie. She recently debuted with the Münchener Kammerorchester under Nacho de Paz singing Wir tönen allein by Gloria Coates. In June, she sang the Cheshire Cat in concert version of Unsuk Chin’s Alice in Wonderland at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam under the baton of Markus Stenz. Recently, she made her Carnegie Hall debut singing Unsuk Chin’s Puzzles and Games with the Sejong Soloists and conductor Earl Lee.
