In 2020 the 27-years-old talented soprano succeeded in reaching the second finals of the Berlin National Singing Contest, where she made a huge impression. Her portrayal of Donizetti’s RITA was concealed due to the COVID19 pandemic. Julie sang GRETEL in Humperdinck’s “Hänsel & Gretel” at the Gallustheater Frankfurt/Main, she was PAMINA in Mozart’s “Die Zauberflöte” at the Bad Vilbel Festival and sang in Britten’s “Paul Bunyan” at the Frankfurt Opera.

In 2021 Julie Sekinger finished her singing master studies at The Frankfurt Academy for Music and Performing Arts with Ursula Targler-Sell. Besides, she attended master classes with Helmut Deutsch and Brigitte Fassbaender. While still studying, she already got the opportunity to gain experience in university productions as SUSANNA in Mozart's “Le nozze di Figaro”, SOPHIE in Strauss' “Der Rosenkavalier”, MUSETTA in Puccini's “La Bohème” and LEONORA in Hindemith's ''The Long Christmas Dinner”.

Staatsoperette Dresden – La Bohème – MUSETTA
Julie Sekinger as Musetta is dazzling. Not only because of her glittering dress but also because she triumphantly sings in and above the round, although she only means one of them.

Outstanding however was Julie Sekinger’s Musetta, delicately guided in all registers, a very convincing interpretation of divan and vamp.

Theater Osnabruck – Die Fledermaus - ADELE
All singers score with their acting commitment and theatrical talent. The greatest discovery though was the new ensemble member Julie Sekinger in the role of Adele. Sekinger brings a self-confident and pertly maid an stage. Her exact coloraturas and high peaks are simply brilliant.

Theater Osnabrück – Don Carlo - TEBALDO
One would like to see the ravishing Julie Sekinger, who unfortunately has too little stage presence in the role of Tebaldo but can shine as the voice from above, in a bigger part.

From all the minor roles, the angel-like voices of Julie Sekinger and... are the most impressive.

Symphony concert with Osnabrücker Symphonieorchester – Mozart-Messe
...Julie Sekinger’s inspired Mozart voice... But the highlight of the concert definitively was the „Et incarnatus“. ..... unutterably tenderly and touchingly sung by Julie Sekinger. What a Mozart voice: young, fresh, pleasant and soft, not a trace of sharpness. Her lyrical, deeply inspired singing is perfectly accompanied by the solo winds.

Theater Osnabück – Die Flerdermaus - ADELE
The biggest discovery was new singer in the ensemble, Julie Sekinger as Adele. Sekinger presents a self-confident, perky waiting-maid on stage, radiates with precise coloraturas and high peaks.
Kulturfeder Dominik Lapp
Theater Osnabück – Fremde Erde - ROSETTE
Erik Rousi as Father Guranoff, Julie Sekinger as the calculating servant Rosette and above all Mark Hamman as Rosenberg,(…) stand out from the vast ensemble.
