 “The sparkling find of Opera Saratoga’s season is the magnificent soprano Julia Stuart, who’s pure, powerful Fiordiligi propelled a “Così fan tutte” that was cheeky, beautiful and well-acted.”

​

“it was a testament to Stuart’s skill — and the Juilliard program where General and Artistic Director Mary Birnbaum encounted her — that she was so fully formed in her first major opera outside school.”

“Each of the four romantic leads had fine vocal moments but soprano Julia Stuart as Fiordiligi was the standout even before her grand second act aria “Per pietà, ben mio, perdona.” While navigating its wide emotional range, Stuart seemed to burrow ever deeper into character.”
