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 is featured on the cover of the May 2023 edition of Opernwelt Magazine.
On invitation from the Hong Kong Arts Festival, Juliana joins the cast of Robert Carsen’s Ariadne auf Naxos with the Bayerische Staatsoper on tour in Hong Kong where she gives her role debut as Najade. Further role debuts this season include Olympia in Les contes d’Hoffmann, Adina in L’elisir d’amore, Morgana in Alcina at Staatstheater Darmstadt. She gives her role and house debut at Nationaltheater Mannheim with Belinda in Dido and Aeneas in March, and the Cheshire Cat in concert version of Unsuk Chin’s Alice in Wonderland at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam under the baton of Markus Stenz.
Juliana is an enthusiastic interpreter of 20th/21st century repertoire. She looks forward to her Carnegie Hall debut singing Unsuk Chin’s Puzzles and Games for soprano and orchestra with the Sejong Soloists in Zankel Hall. As Tinkerbell, Juliana performs in the world premiere of Peter Pan with the Luxembourg Phil in May. In September 2023, she sang György Ligeti’s Mysteries of the Macabre and Nouvelles Aventures with Patrick Hahn conducting the Wuppertal Symphony Orchestra to great acclaim. In 2022, she covered the title role in the world premiere of Girl with the Pearl Earring at Opernhaus Zürich. And in 2021, she performed the world premiere of Transstimme, a full-length opera for only one singer and one actor, by Fabià Santcovsky at the invitation of the Munich Biennale as well as the world premiere of Singularity by Miroslav Srnka at the Cuvilliés-Theater/Bayerische Staatsoper with the Klangforum Wien.
