Julianne Borg

La Traviata, Skylight Theater In any era, Violetta is a diva role, and soprano Julianne Borg measured up. She's leggy and sexy enough to be a pop star. As an actress, she threw herself into the role with unrelenting ardor. Violetta is among the most challenging roles in the repertoire, as it calls for both vocal heft and agile coloratura. Borg has both, along with an unerring feel for the harmonic and emotional pressure points in a phrase. Her singing delighted the ear even as it broke the heart, which is the whole point." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - Tom Strini "Julianne Borg as V is phenomenal. She could probably sing a high "C" standing on her head. Her voice is so fluid, so flexible, so effortless, so beautifully resonant with every given emotion. She is truly breathtaking as both a singer and an actor."

Forumopera.com - Sylvain Angonin Il segreto di Susanna, The Orchestra Now (TŌN) ...Julianne Borg, whose supple voice and unflappable stage presence made Susanna a heroine to reckon with... Super-conductor-blogspot.com This un-staged and un-costumed performance became a showcase for two wonderful voices: baritone Michael Kelly and soprano Julianne Borg. Both were flawless in their delivery, pacing, modulation, and genial humor. They are both at the beginning of serious careers and we expect to be delighted by their singing at future appearances.

Worra's Amy and Julianne Borg's Beth were more vividly etched characterizations, but their defining vocal moments, occur only in the Act II... Borg was nonetheless emotionally convincing and appealing free of self-pity in Beth's death scene.
