Julie Adams, a Merolini and current Adler Fellow at the San Francisco Opera received the prestigious George London – Kirsten Flagstad Award of $10,000 as the most promising Wagnerian singer. Ms. Adams graduated from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music with a Masters Degree and is the student of Cesar Ulloa, a noted teacher and vocal coach. While it remains to be seen if Ms. Adams pursues a career featuring Wagnerian roles, those who have heard Julie sing know that she is an extremely gifted singer and actress.
