Julia Natoli

• Philadelphia-based soprano Julia Natoli is a native of Rochester, NY, and received her Professional Performer’s Certificate in Voice and Master of Music degree in Voice Performance and Pedagogy from Penn State University. While there, she studied classical repertoire with Jennifer Trost and musical theatre repertoire with Mary Saunders Barton. She currently studies voice with Dr. Beverly Patton, Professor Emeritus from Penn State University.
• With Penn State Opera Theatre, she appeared as Elle in Poulenc’s La voix humaine, the title role in Gilbert & Sullivan’s Iolanthe, and as The Whore in the workshop premiere of Susan Russell and Alex Heppelmann’s new opera, Leavings. She also sang Samuel Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915 in Penn State’s New Recital Hall under the baton of Laurel Charleston in February 2019.
• After moving to Philly in 2021, she sang Sarah Brown at the Levoy Theatre in Millville, NJ, with the Off Broad Street Players and appeared as Announcer #3 in their production of Orson Welles' War of the Worlds 1938 Broadcast. This December, she will appear as Girl in Once with City Theater Company at the Delaware Contemporary in Wilmington, Delaware.

Julia is at her happiest when she can sing both classical and musical theatre repertoire. She is an avid yogi and runner in addition to a former martial artist and dancer. Julia enjoys using these experiences to guide her exploration of singing and music-making as part of an integrated experience of the mind and body. She also loves all things epicurean, being an advocate for self-care, and spending time with her two cats.
