Julie Silva is ecstatic to return to Shakespeare Opera Theatre as the swashbuckling Stephano! A devoted trouser role enthusiast, credits include Hansel (Hansel and Gretel with SOT), the Page (Rigoletto with Austin Opera & Opera San Antonio), Orfeo (Orfeo ed Euridice with Opera McGill), Annio (La clemenza di Tito with LOLA), Cherubino (Le nozze di Figaro with LAHSOW), and the Boy in The Boy Who Wanted to Be a Robot (One Ounce Opera). A multi-genre artist based in NYC, Julie is thrilled to call the DMV an additional artistic home. Upcoming DMV performances include work with the Wolf Trap Opera chorus (Carmen) and the Washington National Opera chorus (Aida). A special shoutout to her partner, A, and her Virginia family, the 4 A’s, for all their support on her SOT operatic adventure!
