Frasquita
Originally from St. Louis, MO, Julia Pottinger is excited to be emerging as a young artist in the Boston area! Julia enjoys taking a holistic approach to performance, with her wide-ranging repertoire of art songs, musical theater, and opera. Recent operatic roles and covers include Nedda (Pagliacci), Donna Anna (Don Giovanni), Adelina Altina (La Divina), Vitella (La Clemenza di Tito), Ida (Die Fledermaus), Lady Billows (Albert Herring), and Miss Jessel (The Turn of the Screw). In 2019, Julia was honored to portray Sara in the North American premiere (Wichita State University) of Adam Gorb’s opera, The Path to Heaven. Notable musical theater appearances include Rose Maurrant (Street Scene), Meg March (Little Women), and Marian Paroo (The Music Man). Julia is thrilled to be singing Frasquita in the Brockton Symphony Orchestra and Opera del West’s production of Carmen!
Julia graduated with a Master of Music in Opera Performance under the tutelage of Dr. Rebecca Folsom at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee. In addition to her master’s, Julia holds a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre, and a Professional Certificate in Opera from Wichita State University.
