Overview
New Camerata Opera has commissioned a short opera film based on the life of Julie d’Aubigny, from composer Whitney George and librettist Lila Palmer. A swashbuckling, bisexual swordswoman and opera singer alive during the 17th-century, d'Aubigny fought to cultivate a world in which those who misbehaved got what they deserved. The film, entitled "Julie", will tell her incredible story, which emphasizes the importance of courage in the face of adversity and the pursuit of equality for all.

About "Julie"

NCO's production will be the first to tell the adventurous story of Julie d’Aubigny through opera, befitting the scope and talent of one of the greatest heroines in history. The company will distribute it for free on its YouTube channel. In this way, NCO intends to spread d’Aubigny’s message worldwide, bringing opera to anyone with a digital screen.

Indie Opera Film-making

The total budget will be the largest of any CamerataWorks project to date, and this campaign will only raise a portion of it.  Nevertheless, we are an indie company that stretches every dollar to create relevant and powerful operatic art.

How We'll Do It:

  • NCO's in-house film studio, CamerataWorks, will pair with the production company La Cuarta, and Director of Photography David Salazar, in order to realize this dream.
  • Director Chloe Treat and Assistant Director Paul Ashey are already at work, planning their production concepts.
  • We are assembling a team of passionate and talented designers, from the film and theater worlds alike.
  • The audio will be recorded, with chamber ensemble, in August 2019, and filming will take place over the course of one full week, in NYC, in November 2019.
